Title: You have to love McMurtry
Review: To me, the author wrote this book for his fans; not so much to be #1 on the best-seller list. Having felt like I've known Duane, Ruth, and Sonny since the early 70s, it was like reading about old friends. McMurtry is unparalleled with his use of the English language in the way he paints pictures with the characters' thoughts and dialogue. All of his characters are so real - perhaps quirky, but real. There are a number of laugh-out-loud moments in this book as well as a couple of heart-in-your-throat ones. McMurtry fans, enjoy this one! Newer readers may want to begin with another of his masterpieces. ("Horseman, Pass By" is a great start.)
