5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, couldn't put it down., 4 Nov 1999
This review is from: Duane's Depressed (Paperback)
Duane's Depressed deals with the aspect of mental illness in a way that is touching and close to the heart. The 3rd book in a triology but can be read alone. A must read which is hard to put down.

This review is from: Duane's Depressed (Paperback)
A beautifully written account of a mans realisation that he needs to change his life and how he does it. Tender and funny.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very enjoyable read, but not altogether sure why!, 7 Aug 2000
By A Customer
I haven't read any of Larry McMurty before, I did see and enjoy the televised version of the 'Lonesome Dove' but for the most part that book and the others in the series are a bit too brutal for me - however, I really enjoyed this book, it's a shame I hadn't picked up on the fact that it was the last book of a trilogy! There is something very comfortable (for the reader) about the way Duane's life starts to disintegrate, his need for peace and quiet and his attempt to improve the quality of his life is something that will ring bells for anyone who has at some point wondered what the hell they are doing in this strangely facile life that most manage to live.

5.0 out of 5 stars Once again you're side-by-side with all the characters.

In a word - surprised. This trilogy has a consistent quality that McMurtry did not even approach with the Lonesome Dove series. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the three.
I hated "The Last Picture Show." Maybe it was because I had seen the film first. The humor in the novel seemed out of place, for some reason. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars You have to love McMurtry

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm sad to see the story end.
A fitting a moving conclusion to an American saga. McMurty's insight and writing continue to ripen and mature. I loved it.
