About this listen

 The acclaimed sequel to Larry McMurtry’s Pulitzer Prize–winning classic Lonesome Dove, and the culmination of the legendary western saga, follows the further adventures of these beloved characters as they reckon with their past choices and uncertain futures in the rapidly changing American West.

Captain Woodrow Call, August McCrae's old partner, is now a bounty hunter hired to track down a brutal young Mexican bandit. Riding with Call are an Eastern city slicker, a witless deputy, and one of the last members of the Hat Creek outfit, Pea Eye Parker, now married to Lorena—once Gus McCrae's sweetheart. This long chase leads them across the last wild stretches of the West into a hellhole known as Crow Town and, finally, into the vast, relentless plains of the Texas frontier.

I've loved Lonesome Dove and have read it several times over the years. I'd been warned the sequel wasn't worth reading but curiosity eventually got the best of me. I've read the prequels and they're pretty decent reads, but I'd say if anything Streets of Laredo took away from the Lonesome Dove, in butchering the few original characters McMurtry left living between lonesome Dove and the inception of SoR. Would not recommend.

Not a patch on Lonesome Dove

So much killing and sadness. Author gets carried away with characters thoughts and this drags out the story with little action despite the length of the story.

Depressing
