I read this book in 2 days and loved it from cover to cover. The story follows three people in a love triangle from their teenage to twilight years. McMurtry captures the life of a cowboy like no other. The dialect, mannerisms, and day-to-day habits are spot on. The story flows smoothly as a stream. It will have you laughing and wiping tears. The cover notes say this book is the basis for the film "Lovin' Molly". I haven't seen it, but I plan to check it out.
