Title: Wes Craven In The Old West
Review: The final installment in the Lonesome Dove series is more of a macabre romp worthy of Wes Craven; a Nightmare on Laredo Street.In some of the most gruesome mutilations and deaths to destroy the myth of the anti-hero, author Larry McMurtry is seemingly writing for himself; burying the characters who survived the initial three novels in what ultimately becomes a very predictable plot of the oftentimes tragic battles within families and the consequences of venturing into a world that is driven by the coldest of hate.The Epilogue of vignettes finally pushes the story to its rightful conclusion and has a plot that is actually a bit more intriguing than the main work.While the book should be mostly viewed as a means for a reader to conclude the series, it is not one of McMurtry's finest moments, unless this is actually a bizarre nod to classic horror fiction.
