Negative Positive
Title: Worthwhile, though not gripping
Review: Perhaps it is unfair to judge a book against a classic such as Lonesome Dove, however this is a hazard faced by writers of sequels (or in this case prequels). While much of the book was fascinating, such as those parts dealing with Inish Scull, Ahumado, Blue Duck and Buffalo Hump, it almost seems that McMurtry has run out of interesting things to say about Call and McCrae. While Lonesome Dove captivates from the start, Comanche Moon, like most good but not great books, allowed me to start feeling drowzy around midnight. Certainly this is a worthwhile book and at 700+ pages, it is well worth the price.
