Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry
4.0
adventurous emotional reflective relaxing sad tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This is not my normal read, but its one of my coworkers favourite books so I thought I would give it a go. 
It is a massive, sweeping grand tale. I was fully invested. I laughed, I sobbed and I despaired at some of these men's inability to have a conversation. I went in thinking this book would piss me off, but its best characters were the women.
