I have heard about this book for years and finally pulled the trigger. Normally a book that size would take me 3 months to finish. I did so in 6 weeks. Couldn't put it down. What an epic masterpiece. I finished it right around midnight last night.
So for those of you who are fans, I have a couple of questions:
1. I see that there is a series that LM wrote after Lonesome Dove. Are they worth reading and if so, what order do you advise?
2. I stayed away from the internet to avoid spoilers and avoid having my image of the characters altered. Sorry - just a weird personal thing. So should I even bother watching the miniseries? There's no way that 6 hours can do the story any justice. Especially when it's made for network TV. Even worse, I was mortified when I saw that Ricky Schroder was cast as Newt. What a travesty that is.
Fire away!
