"Had to read this since I loved Lonesome Dove. This was the usual violent and jolting route and not as memorable to me. I've read LD several times, probably not this one again."
"A fitting follow-up to Lonesome Dove, although this book is a bit sadder and much more reflective. Call, no longer aocompanied by the loquacious Gus (one of the most popular characters in all of fiction, or so I've been told) is aging and spends a good bit of time reflecting on his life, his fading abilities, and the meaning of it all. He and his men are on the run for a killer and there is plenty of action and adventure. But I enjoyed the thoughtful parts also---I enjoyed simply knowing a novelist could get away with so much of that.
I have just begun book one in the four-part series. Like Star Wars, McMurtry produced these books out of order; I'm reading them the same way. It may be that a reader of STREETS who has not one but three books behind him would find this one even more moving. As it was, I enjoyed the book nevertheless, not only as an adventure, but as a reflection on what it means to get old."
"This was a disappointing follow-up to Lonesome Dove. The writing wasn't quite as polished. All the things I liked about the first book were shot down at the beginning of this one, making for an anti-climatic beginning. Call is now an old man, now hired to hunt down a train-robbing killer. (Spoiler alerts) I was disappointed to learn that everything in Montana had fizzled out after all that effort in the first book, that Newt was killed in Montana before Call owned up he was his father, and that July had drowned (as annoyingly unassertive as he was). I was delighted that Pea Eye was married to Lorena-- that was a nice surprise. I guess the author thought he had to top his last villains (Blue Duck & Suggs) because he came up with a couple of really bad ones (Joey Garcia, and the child-burning Moxmox). The author continued his themes from the last book of "women are sex objects" and "women want their men to stay at home." Women are repeatedly screwed over in this author's books. One dies waiting for her husband to come home, another is raped by the sheriff and then commits suicide while her inexperienced deputy husband is off helping Call hunt the killers. I liked the character Maria, but never could understand why her son hated her for being a "whore" (she wasn't a whore, but he blamed her for men being attracted to her, though she did nothing to try to attract them... so once again, women get blamed in this book for men's lust). If you're looking for the god-fearing, moral side of the Old West, you won't find it in this series. I recommend Laura Ingalls Wilder and Janette Oke as a more wholesome alternative. Even still, based on the strength of my interest in the characters from the first book, I am interested in knowing what happens to them, enough to go on to the next book. Book #3 (Dead Man's Walk) takes us back to when Call and Gus are young and green, before they became legendary Texas rangers. I'm still hoping women will be treated decently, and that the villains don't keep getting worse in the rest of the series."
"This is the last book, I think, in the Lonesome Dove series, which I love, I'm reading Commanche Moon now. Read Lonesome Dove first, then Dead Man's Walk. I love these books because I can't put them down and they move very fast. Very action-packed. Call is now an old bounty hunter after a young Mexican bandit guero who robs trains and is a crack shot with a scoped rifle. My friend KellyAnn turned me onto the Lonesome Dove series."
