![]() These characters are authentic and interesting. But, after sticking with it,(despite the indulgences of old men's sexual fantasies gratuitously thrown in by LM), it ended up being a pretty entertaining book, more humorous than the McMurtry I have come to expect, but ultimately displaying the pathos I have always known from this author. Started a bit slow, enough to make me think that McMurtry had finally lost his touch. ![]() " Disregard the three stars, I'll actually call it three and a half. " One of my favorite authors and the end of the Duane Moore saga, but not in the same league as Lonesome Dove or The Last Picture Show. Perhaps, someday I may read another of his books. From reading the reviews of others I gather that this not a good example of the author's talent. I believe it is the first McMurtry book that I have read. ![]() " I made it through the last page but it was a struggle. It's a light read, a bit humorous in places.I just like Larry McMurtry - he has some characters!!!! " - Sue, Slater, a billionaire who wants to save African Rhinos by importing them to Texas. Short chapters, static and disjointed storyline, but Duane, grandson Willy, Bobby Lee, and Honor Carmichael are back with the addition of K. Nothing much happens in his life anymore, so I guess it's time to go. " Not really good, but I have a sentimental attachment to Duane. ![]()
