Trade Review
"Such a comfortable Western that Sam Elliott might as well be narrating it directly into your ear. McMurtry intersperses comedy and romance…And once again, he's written some smart, tough women and a bunch of men who have no idea what to make of them." -- Laura Collins-Hughes - Boston Globe
"A beautiful, dreamy, deeply melancholy book, connecting legend and disparate threads of history in a seamless pastiche of tall tales drawn against the context of their real circumstances." -- Nathan Pensky - The Onion
"[The Last Kind Words Saloon] is never dull, and it’s also very funny. As always, McMurtry's characters are plain-spoken but subtle and full of dry humor…Moseying along with McMurtry is always worthwhile." -- Adam Woog - Seattle Times
