Review:
A sprawling, picaresque novel (New York Times Book Review)
A monumental work that has few equals in current literature (Library Journal)
The [frontier] myth is intact, if a tad tattered by McMurtry's darkly comedic touch and sly debunking of chivalric conventions. But at its core are McMurtry's respect and gift for exaggerated and fanciful pageantry and heroic form (New York Daily News)
McMurtry's revisionist vision of frontier life is always compelling (Booklist)
[A] fine tableau of western life, full of imaginative exploits, convincing historical background, and characters who are alive (Kirkus Reviews)
Comanche Moon has its considerable pleasures . . . a singular treat (San Francisco Examiner & Chronicle Book Review)
McMurtry is one of our finest storytellers, and he's at his best here (People)
Consistently entertaining (Entertainment Weekly)
Almost impossible to put down . . . McMurtry knows how to deploy his most suspenseful episodes for maximum effect. He treats his large cast of characters with humour and respect (Boston Herald)
