The first one was. It's of the "mass produced, easy read, but all in all very enjoyable" variety of fiction if you know what I mean. I don't mean that as in the writing is of low quality or I felt like I'm settling and trudged through to finish. One book in and I'm enjoying it all a lot. The characters are slightly different than in the show personality-wise, which makes it so I'm not just reading the show all over again.

Walt is funnier in the book than in the show. Which I enjoyed in book one. I expect I blow through book two soon, so I'll update the thread with how I'm feeling about the books.

I read all the time.

167 books and counting so far this year.

I am going to the library and see if they are there..

Justified is way better than Longmire.

Which is a shame, because the Longmire books are so good. The show however deviates so much from the books. I wonder how the author feels about the show.

Maybe it is because i am binging longmire that i see the jarring transitions between seasons between the characters motiavtions.
And again it changed hands between AMC and Netflix, but Vic is the one of the worst written characters ever.

Justified.

You should watch it.

Some of the best dialog banter since SportsNight

I could tell the difference between AMC and Netflix. I liked AMC's Longmire better. But I liked the last season and overall, enjoyed the acting across the whole show, and Netflix's version was still good, so while you can see the transition, it didn't ruin it for me.
