Ratings and reviews

As an avid fan of the TV show i was shocked on how boring this book was. I listen to at least one book a month and the reader of this one seems to take away from the story rather then present or add to it. The varied voices and sometimes over the top portrayal of the voices cross over into the level of a parody rather then a performance. Lastly, there are these weird way-too-long pauses that make you think the recording stopped.

I really liked the TV series and am now enjoying the books. I enjoy George's portrayals. As a Native Amer. I can relate to Bears portrayal as my grandfather was just as laconic and had the same outside the box point of view. Kudos to both the author and reader.

Got into Longmire because of the show. The books are even better! George Guidelle does an excellent job of bringing Craig Johnson's characters to life. Bravo gentlemen!! Bring on the next story!!
