I'm looking forward to reading.

Heya Fabienne! Has your copy come yet? I'll probably finish reading mine this weekend! 8)
Monika:
Good thread!
I remember watching the mini-series years ago and really loved it. The friendship between the two main characters was different from anything I previously had seen in the western genre. I´d like to read the book too at some point.

Hey Amanda, yes it has. And I have to say I didn't know it was going to be 945 pages! :o I haven't started reading it. I feel a bit guilty about starting a new book before I've finished the one I'm currently reading ('Atonement' by Ian McEwan). But I might dive in anyway. It's your description of this book being a page turner that intrigues me. I love getting all caught up in a story, Atonement, though also very good, isn't that sort of book.

I am enjoying Lonesome Dove more and more. Now that Jake Spoon has arrived on the scene, it's getting really interesting!

;D
Yep, the drama comes in waves... and sometimes the drama gets surprisingly intense.
I'm at a phase towards the end now where it's almost impossible to put it down. I was up until 1:00 am (on a work night!) trying to find a place to put it down for the night.
So, I was intimidated by the long length of it at first too... I'd put if off for so long because of the length... but it really does go fast once you get further into the book.
