ReviewsPraise for Spirit of Steamboat: "A nail-biter."-- Publishers Weekly "Johnson is a born storyteller, and he spins this old-fashioned adventure tale deftly....An extremely pleasant present for fans of this popular series."-- Booklist "A suspenseful adventure story....Series fans along with adventure and Western readers will raptly devour the details."-- Library Journal Praise for A Serpent's Tooth : "Suspense propels the brisk plot, complemented by a sly sense of humor and a breathtaking look at Wyoming."-- Publishers Weekly (Starred) "Authentic....The story moves at a brisk pace, with room for some good-natured humor and plenty of gorgeous Wyoming scenery."--CNN.com "A tense, action-filled story with Johnson's usual touches of humor and romance."-- Kirkus "Maybe [Johnson's] best one yet."-- Charleston Gazette "Johnson employs his trademark humor, many literary allusions, a cast readers can't help but love and Johnson's obvious love of the land he's writing about. Readers will experience the West in all its grandeur while Walt battles the evils trying to encroach upon his beloved county."-- Shelf Awareness Praise for Craig Johnson and the Walt Longmire Mystery Series "Like the greatest crime novelists, Johnson is a student of human nature. Walt Longmire is strong but fallible, a man whose devil-may-care stoicism masks a heightened sensitivity to the horrors he's witnessed. Unlike traditional genre novelists who obsess mainly over every hairpin plot turn, Johnson's books are also preoccupied with the mystery of his characters' psyches."-- Los Angeles Times "Johnson knows the territory, both fictive and geographical, and tells us about it in prose that crackles."--Robert B. Parker "The characters talk straight from the hip and the Wyoming landscape is its own kind of eloquence."-- The New York Times "[Walt Longmire] is an easy man to like...Johnson evokes the rugged landscape with reverential prose, lending a heady atmosphere to his story."-- The Philadelphia Inquirer "Stepping into Walt's world is like slipping on a favorite pair of slippers, and it's where those slippers lead that provides a thrill. Johnson pens a series that should become a 'must' read, so curl up, get comfortable, and enjoy the ride."-- The Denver Post "A winning piece of work...There's a convincing feel to the whole package: a sense that you're viewing this territory through the eyes of someone who knows it as adoring lover and skeptical onlooker at the same time."-- The Washington Post "Johnson's pacing is tight and his dialogue snaps."-- Entertainment Weekly "Truly great. Reading Craig Johnson is a treat...[He] tells great stories, casts wonderful characters and writes in a style that compels the reader forward."-- Wyoming Tribune Eagle, Praise for Spirit of Steamboat: "A nail-biter."- Publishers Weekly "Johnson is a born storyteller, and he spins this old-fashioned adventure tale deftly….An extremely pleasant present for fans of this popular series."- Booklist "A suspenseful adventure story….Series fans along with adventure and Western readers will raptly devour the details."- Library Journal Praise for A Serpent's Tooth : "Suspense propels the brisk plot, complemented by a sly sense of humor and a breathtaking look at Wyoming."- Publishers Weekly (Starred) "Authentic....The story moves at a brisk pace, with room for some good-natured humor and plenty of gorgeous Wyoming scenery."-CNN.com "A tense, action-filled story with Johnson's usual touches of humor and romance."- Kirkus "Maybe [Johnson's] best one yet."- Charleston Gazette "Johnson employs his trademark humor, many literary allusions, a cast readers can't help but love and Johnson's obvious love of the land he's writing about.

  • Not like the tv series

    I’ve read only the first book so far “cold dish” and I was disappointed. The books are different from the TV series. Most of the characters are unrecognizable as some names have been changed and their personalities and physical description are different. The storyline of the first book is a jumbled up mishmash of several tv episodes. Walt’s interaction with other character is confusing and Walt doesn’t quite come off as a nice person but a sloppy, over weight grouch. Walt’s daughter Cady is a shadowy figure way off in Philadelphia and his relationship with his dead wife isn’t as on tv. And so far there is no conflict with the Rez or the casino which is a theme throughout the entire tv series. To put it simply I liked the TV series a whole lot more than the 1st book. I’m going to continue reading the books, partially to see how much is changed from the tv series and because I love to read and have run out of other reading material. These books would be better if I hadn’t watched the tv series. Most of the time I prefer the book over the movie or tv series but in this case I prefer the tv series.
