Looking to purchase the novel from Larry McMurtry but looking to see if any of y’all have read it and have anything to say before purchasing.

Seems superficially like my type of book though.

It’s more raw than I thought it would be.

One of my top three books I’ve ever read. It is awesome.

Read all four in the series in chronological order according to the story line which is not the order in which they were written.

It is very, very good.

Knowing what I know now I would still read LD first.
Getting to know the characters as McMurtry first wrote them is the overriding factor for me.
