An almost-true story about a small town in Texas that ought to exist if it doesn’t, with characters like Sam the Lion, the delectable Jacy, and Ruth Popper, the coach’s wife. Set in a small, dusty, Texas town, The Last Picture Show introduced the characters of Jacy, Duane, and Sonny: teenagers stumbling toward adulthood, discovering the beguiling mysteries of sex and the even more baffling mysteries of love.

I got this title because I am a huge fan of Lonesome Dove, and hoped to get more of that.
At first, I was mildly interested in what this very (seemingly) vile cast of characters might do next, but, by the halfway mark, I was, and am, haunted by the goings on in this old Texas town.
One thing that put me off was the many sex scenes; some very gross. Looking back, they had to be told somehow in order to tell this story.
Another thing that also sometimes turns me off is the third person omniscient POV. Looking back, again, it’s nice to have everyone’s thoughts just right there together so the whole picture is understood, and there is no mystery.
There are no protagonists. These characters just “are”, and I think that will resonate with a lot of listeners. No doubt, some of them will remind you of actual people you know, and events you’ve experienced in your own life.
The narrator sounds great. He does add in certain accents that bring the story to life in your ear.
