Lonesome Dove

A Novel

De: Larry McMurtry, Taylor Sheridan - introduction

Narrado por: Will Patton

The 40th anniversary edition of the Pulitzer Prize–winning classic of the American West, with a new foreword by Yellowstone cocreator Taylor Sheridan. An epic of the frontier, Lonesome Dove is the grandest novel ever written about the last defiant wilderness.

Journey to the dusty little town of Lonesome Dove, where retired Texas Rangers Augustus McCrae and Woodrow Call undertake a perilous cattle drive to the untamed plains of Montana. Along the way, they face danger, adventure, and an unforgettable cast of characters. Richly authentic and beautifully written, Lonesome Dove is a story of love, loss, and the unyielding spirit of the American West.

A great book made even better

Will Patton is absolutely amazing. Every character comes to life as it did on the screen. His reading of Gus is spot on perfect!

Not the typical cowboy story

The narrator was excellent. The characters came to life with McMurtrys beautiful prose. A story of life with all its joys and regrets and failings.

The Perfect Western

One of my new favorite books of all time. Only flaw is the narrator sometimes gets too into the voices and makes it hard to understand, otherwise its perfect.

Outstanding Performance & Story

I have zero notes. This is the prolific novel that you were promised and Will Patton was the perfect choice for narrating.

Yes, it’s as good as everyone says it is

This is now my favorite book. I didn’t know characters could be written like they are in this book. I usually have a hard time really attaching to characters, but here I was attached to so many that I lost track! It’s seriously so good. The first book I ever wanted to immediately repeat after finishing.
