   I read Lonesome Dove every few years and each time I do I find something   
   new. I love that book! It is simply one of my all time favorite novels.   
      
   .but I don't know what happened to Larry McMurtry when he sat down to write   
   Dead Man's Walk and Comanche Moon. I think he sold us out. I don't believe   
   either novel comes anywhere close to the Pulitzer Prize winning Lonesome   
   Dove. Gus and Call aren't believable, and much of the humor that made the   
   character of Gus McCrae so wonderful is missing or skewed.   
      
   Sorry, but mounting a horse backwards as Gus manages to do while pining over   
   Clara comes across as just plain silly.   
      
   Stick with Lonesome Dove and look no further. Comanche Moon is a cross   
   between Beetlejuice and Rawhide. Larry must simply have needed the money his   
   publishers offered for a couple of sequels.
