Located off a desolate stretch of Interstate 50, Desperation, Nevada, has few connections with the rest of the world. It is a place, though, where the seams between worlds are thin. And it is a place where several travelers are abducted by Collie Entragian, the maniacal police officer of Desperation. Entragian uses various ploys for the abductions, from an arrest for drug possession to "rescuing" a family from a nonexistent gunman.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 623
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.

Perfect complement to the movie
Revisado: 12-10-15
Would you listen to The Last Picture Show again? Why?
Yes. Saw the movie (again) recently after having seen it when it first came out. The DVD had an interview with the Producer, Peter Bogdanovich, in which he revealed that he had to cut the movie down in order to please the movie company. He regretted this and that led me to download the book to see what was missing. I highly recommend seeing the movie first, then read/listen to the book. They complement each other in that you will have a visualization of the movie characters who were all excellent. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed a story as much as this one. What a wonderful writer!
What other book might you compare The Last Picture Show to and why?
American Graffiti comes to mind even though it wasn't a book. I suppose if you grew up in the 60's or late 50's as I did, it makes it all that more enjoyable to be able to relate to those moments in the both The Last Picture Show and American Graffiti..
What about John Randolph Jones’s performance did you like?
Perfect! In fact, I will probably listen to several more that he has narrated just to listen to his great delivery and performance.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Both! The characters were painted with such richness almost like an artist painting.
Any additional comments?
If you have seen the movie way back when, see it again. Then listen to the Audible version. It's like eating chocolate cake and washing it down with a glass of cold milk.
