Loved, loved, loved this book. Can't say that for some of his other novels, but this one grasped me and I was sad it ended. Great character development, steeped in western U.S. history, and a love story woven in too.

Loved this book...historical fiction that sucks you in and keeps you enthralled. Haven't seen the movie yet...I'm afraid I'll just be disappointed and I don't want it to change my mind about this book.

Anyone who can get me to love a western has some talent! Although I have not been able to get through any other McMurtry books, this one was incredible.

I loved this first book in the Vampire Lestat series...definitely the best. After awhile, they just got on my nerves, but this book was great. A modern twist on the Dracula theme.

One of my all-time favorites. History, witchcraft, sensuality, and mystery all in one. The rest of the series didn't grasp me as much as this first book.

If you liked The Other Boleyn Girl, you'll love this book. The story of Napoleon's first love, before Josephine. Desiree led an incredible life even after Napoleon.
