Not since the publication of his own beloved classic Lonesome Dove has there been a novel like this one, another big, brilliant, unputdownable saga of the West from Larry McMurtry. Telegraph Days is at once a major work of literature and a completely absorbing read; not just great fiction, but fiction on a great scale, encompassing many years, many characters, real and fictional, and the whole vast landscape of place, time, life, and heart, which has served for more than 130 years as the background for "the Western" in fiction and on the screen. Nobody writes, or has ever written, better about the West than Larry McMurtry, and nobody has caught better in words its myths, its often brutal reality, its overwhelming size, and the way it captured both the imagination and the hopes of those who settled there, only, as was so often the case, to dash those hopes.

Told in the voice of Nellie Courtright, a spunky, courageous, attractive young woman whose story this is in part, Telegraph Days is the big novel of the Western gunfighters that people have been hoping for years Larry McMurtry would write.

I'm a big fan of the lonesome dove series and looked forward to this story as another saga by Larry McMurtry. I guess I have a tendency to measure all of his novels by that standard which leaves me lacking for more. having said that, this was a fun story and the narrator does a great job of telling the story and bringing the characters to life.

Its not lonesome dove, but well worth the effort.

A fun romp through the last years of the old West. What a hoot! Every major personalty of the era pplays a role. So fun. The dialog is hilarious. Approaches True Grit, at least in sporit.

Annie Potts is Perfect

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Maybe, if they were an Annie Potts fan.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Listening to Annie Potts was very enjoyable. The plot was a little on the silly side, especially if you are expecting another Lonesome Dove.

What does Annie Potts bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Just a very pleasant voice with an accent that seems very appropriate for the subject matter.

Not the worst book I ever listened to

Like most Larry McMurtry reads … it’s a good one. Nelly’s voice is compelling and the story becomes more and more believable the more you listen. Highly recomend

Great voice

This book is written more as a narrative-diary than a typical plot-driven novel. It is fun to listen to, but quite raunchy, lots of crude sexual references, but not pornographic.

Good but raunchy

Well written, well narrated. A super book that I could have gone on listening to for many hours more.

Simply great!

Good Story and Performance

Annie Potts was great as the narrator, but the story was contrived and hard to believe in. It was froth at best.

Not My Favorite Larry McMurtry

I loved the way I was captured and brought into this whimsical novel. It moved right along, and I enjoyed every second.

Loved this
