Summary
The family sets out across the plains in search of him, encountering grizzly bears, stormy weather, and hostile Indians as they go. With them are Shay's siblings G.T., Neva, and Baby Marcy, Shay's uncle Seth, his Granpa Crackenthorpe, and Mary Margaret's beautiful half-sister Rose. During their journey they pick up a bare-footed priest named Father Villy, and a Snake Indian named Charlie Seven Days, and persuade them to come along.
Boone's Lick is high adventure, a perfect Western tale and a moving love story - it is vintage McMurtry, combining his brilliant character portraits, his unerring sense of the West and his unrivalled eye for the telling detail.

One of my fave audiobooks!
A delightful Western for anybody aged 10 and up, superbly narrated by Will Patton. I've just listened to it for the third time and it gave me as much pleasure as ever.

Wildly Entertaining
A terrific book. The author Larry McMurtry won a Pulitzer Prize for Lonesome Dove. Although I never read westerns, I read all that Mr McMurtry writes and I am never disappointed. The actor who reads the book is superb. We had it playing in the car and drove an extra hour into the night just so we could listen to the story. You will never regret listening to this story.

Captivating story, so sad it wasn't longer!
Larry McMurtry does it again: delivers a pacey, unepectedand funny story with strongly drawn, original characters. A western that has sympathy and affection for the settlers whists not shying away from the ugly costs of colonialism.
