"It seemed that an awful lot of the voices in my life were so small and high as to be undetectable by the human ear."

I just re read this book to get ready for the new tv show it was better the second time around.

It was an ok read, but alot of the "action" takes place inside the main characters head which made things a little slow paced in my opinion.

I wasn't particularly fond of the story, but I really like the characters

1st half was ridiculously slow. 2nd half got better - especially the last 40%

I don't particularly feel like I could recommend this book on its own merits, but I'm interested enough in the characters & setting that I'm going to try [b:Death Without Company|236862|Death Without Company (Walt Longmire, #2)|Craig Johnson|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1349807862s/236862.jpg|229421].

I love Longmire the TV show, and I have to give it to the people that took this book and turned it into the TV show, because the things that I do NOT like about this book are NOT in the tv show - I like Branch Connely (TV) but I hate Turk Connely (book) - I like Ferg (TV) but I hate Ferg (book) -Walt is a confused, horny old man in the book, but on TV he has much more confidence - and Vick, well not a big fan of her on TV, but in the book, she is a contemptuous, disrespectful B*****.

I know that we are talking Apples and Oranges, but I picked up the book to get a deeper look into the Walt Longmire world, and I wish that I never opened the door - I do not enjoy this novel one bit.
