"Streets of Laredo" is a splendid addition to the literary portrait of McMurtry's native Texas and the West that he has been creating for three decades. It's also one of his most affectingly melancholy books....The characters are as finely etched as any McMurtry has ever minted.
"News Week"
Splendid...one of the most affectingly melancholy books.
"Los Angeles Times"
One of McMurtry's most powerful and moving achievements.
"Chicago Tribune"
A marvelous novel in its own right and in every way a worthy successor to "Lonesome Dove."
"Cosmopolitan"
Gorgeous...violent, funny, achingly sad, filled with heroism
and regret....If you can put "Streets of Laredo" down, I'll eat my ten-gallon hat.
"The New York Times Book Review"
Larry McMurtry remains a genius at dialogue. The scene where the seven whores start reminiscing about the first men in their lives is wonderful.
"The Boston Globe"

of Laredo..."he has written a novel that is even better than the
original -- and that was one hell of a tale.
