Best of Longmire yet!!!!

Walt at his wittiness. I had to get the Kindle book also because I could not let this one go. It was hugley entertaining and a great listen. Great story line with a few great twists. I wish the book had not ended so soon. I want the next book NOW!

Love Longmire!

Would you listen to A Serpent's Tooth again? Why?

Yes, to help me remember more about each of the characters.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Walt Longmire is my favorite because he balances all the action and characters.

What does George Guidall bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He is a great narator. When I listen to him tell the story I am very happy with his representation of each of the characters and I can immerse in the story without having to give the characters the attributes that bring them to life in my mind.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I was disturbed when I thought Double Tough was dead.

Any additional comments?

I have not yet been disappointed with one of the books in the Longmire series. This one and book 8 are as good as any of them to me. I feel like all the base characters are like family. I look forward to more Longmire books.

I recommend ALL Walt Longmire books

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Any additional comments?

George Guidall does another outstanding job of narrating the Walt Longmire series. Craig Johnson can grab a listeners attention with his detail and writing abilities

Waiting for Book 10! Anxiously!

Another awesome Craig Johnson story about the lovable Walt Longmire that MUST have one or more sequels. Surely the story isn't over!

This one is a heartbreaker for the reader and for Walt . . . loss of a deputy and a child. . . both of which are deeply felt in Absoroka County, WY. Sure, the crimes get solved and the criminals punished, but the epilogue Johnson has written builds new intrigue that totally demands more of the story. . . and I am hopeful that Book 10 (and 11, 12 , 13 and more) are on the way.

If you haven't started this series, don't be afraid to do so because it sounds like a series of "westerns" and you are not a fan of that genre. These are contemporary stories set in the rural counties of current-day Wyoming (although Walt still doesn't carry a cell phone) and the interactions and relationships of the characters (and criminals) is very engaging.

Love all the stories and can't wait for more.

Excellent as they all are!!

Fun to listen to great storytelling and audiobook narration by George. Highly recommend this audiobook!

Always, ALWAYS, a great yarn, a great listen

Walt, Vic, and Bear encounter a runaway who appears to come from a polygamous splinter group with new settlements in Wyoming and South Dakota. Characters abound, and you'll listen far beyond your available time to hear what happens in this Longmire installment.

I'm, once again, amazed at Johnson's creative genius and story-telling. How he sustains his quality with each book is a mystery to me.

George Guidall is the consummate character life-infusing genius. The actor is blessed with gifts of a voice that brings to life all the nuances of the Longmire crew, the people of Durant, Wyoming, and a host of antagonists, including a "Jabba-the Hut"-like cult leader.

Listen up!!

I liked this book. Liked the Crow Flies better

This was a good book. The final outcome was not clear until the epilogue chapter.

Johnson never disappoints - another terrific read.

Any additional comments?

Just when I think one of his books is going to be more fun than moving, Johnson nails me and I'm all choked up. Still love these characters and the fact that their personalities are the driving force of these books. Can't wait for the next one.

One of the Best

What did you love best about A Serpent's Tooth?

The drama and the development of the relationship with Walt and Vick.
Also, that Henry had a bigger role.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes, I couldn't figure it out completely and still find loose ends that I wonder about.

Have you listened to any of George Guidall’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

very well

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Of course, Vick and Walt at the end of the book.

Any additional comments?

Need to keep this relationship developing after the tragedy.

Another Winner by Johnson and Guidall

What did you love best about A Serpent's Tooth?

This is the ninth book in the Longmire series. I've enjoyed them all. Craig Johnson is a great writer whose character development is outstanding. Always written in the first person, Walt Longmire is not some pretty boy cop from the big city. He's actually become a friend. George Guidall, one of the best, if not the best narrator in the business, makes Longmire come alive.

What did you like best about this story?

Johnson weaves in religion and Western culture into a great read/listen.

What about George Guidall’s performance did you like?

As always, George Guidall is at the top of his game. He'd probably make a physics textbook sound interesting.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Out West, it's never what it seems.
