Review:Very interesting book following the two initial books of the book is a bit dense on politics (many many characters, Dispute for power etc....). I preferred the first two books because they were more focused on Geralt is his quests. Read more
Review:I've enjoyed all the books in the Witcher series & saga enormously, and this one was no exception.. I've found them all to be exquisite in their combination of fantasy and satire, story tales of old and parody, and don't understand the negative reviews this book has received.
The charm of the world Sapkowski has created for Gerlat of Rivia and co., that makes it so different (and so much richer and more entertaining, from my point of view) from the Lord of the Rings, for instance, is ... Read more
Review:Ever since playing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, I have been completely absorbed in the world created by Mr. Sapkowski. Now that I've played through the game, I realized it was time to start going through the books. I read the first book, The Last Wish, and really enjoyed it, but Blood of Elves is a step above in my opinion. It paints a better picture of the world Geralt lives in, as well as introducing some characters to the books that I adored in the games. I'm still currently reading it, but I'm ... Read more
Review:I watched the TV show Longmire and became hooked because of the exceptional cast of characters. After reading "Christmas in Abaroka County", I now realize the author, Craig Johnson created those characters. I enjoyed these stories. Read more
Review:Craig Johnson's second Walt Longmire mystery sparkles like new fallen snow in bright moonlight. A Basque woman murdered in a nursing home, a link to someone close to Walt, a clubbing, shots ringing out, this one's got it all. Craig Johnson can write. He's got a freshness and knack for description that reminds one of James Lee Burke. I could use a little less of the Indian mysticism, but that's just personal preference. I can skip those few pages and read the rest word for word, then sometimes b... Read more
Review:Great little story. Adds even more dimension to three primary characters in the series as well as being downright entertaining. And just unlikely enough to have actually happened! (It sounds like a story I'd hear at a family reunion.)
As always, can't wait for the next one. Read more
Review:Good read. Would make a great 1st installment in aTV mini-series with the follow-on books Mark is writing. Scenes and characters are easy to visualize with his descriptions. Mark does a great job of developing his characters, although I think a parallel treatment of the mysterious murderer would have heightened the suspense. Can't wait for the next in the series!

Review:Craig Johnson is the best kept secret in mystery books. Thankfully the Longmire television show lead me to his books and each one of them captures you and takes you to Absaroka County. I am a strong reader but still find that I can reread this group of books, learning more and enjoying it all over again. Don't miss Sheriff Longmire's stories of murder, love and life. Read more

Review:I picked up a book, and was immediately back where I grew up at: Wyoming. Mr. Johnson has it down. Lakes, Rivers, Counties, Highway Patrol, Cheyenne, Rawlins, abutting states, where everything is relative to each other in the state... And, it's a great Mystery / Detective Book at that.
