Boone s Lick - From Another Perspective

Date of Review:  Mar 29, 2001
The Bottom Line: There are few readers who will not appreciate Boone's Lick. Pick it up and read it. You will not be disappointed.
Review: PROLOGUE

Last weekend I read two novels.

The first, Boone?s Lick, presents an unadorned look at a Missouri family in the years just after the Civil War. This is not a story of slick gunfighters, wealthy farmers, or cattle barons...

Wild West Odyssey

Date of Review:  Apr 7, 2003
The Bottom Line: Entertaining short novel that captures the spirit and adventure of the old west.
Review: No one can spin a wild west yarn like Larry Mc Murtry. The Pulitzer Prize winning author was born to write about the glory days of the old west. Boone's Lick is one of his shortest, most concise, works at 287 pages. Although it lacks the passion...

Date of Review:  Apr 12, 2002
The Bottom Line: Endearing characters make you care about what happens to them
Review: Most people are familiar with Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove and Terms of Endearment. This book, Boone's Lick, is probably one of his least known books. But it could be his best. Told with the folksy humor of Lonesome Dove and the compassion of...

Professional Reviews
  Karbo, Karen, New York Times Book Review: "BOONE'S LICK, which is the first novel in a new series, will inevitably be compared with LONESOME DOVE, arguably McMurtry's masterpiece. There is no question that while this first installment lacks the epic grandeur and depth of its predecessor, it nevertheless has the makings of a provocative work."
