This was my least favorite book so far, which is a bit depressing since the last book was my favorite. For me I think it was the martial stress in this book. I know in a series that involves a married couple it is to be expected, but I didn't like it. For me Joe Pickett is the good guy with moral standards that happens to enjoy beauty in women. Who doesn't? My husband tells me when he thinks girls are hot and I never fail to point out the good looking guys. It's a good thing in a relationship. B...
Another excellent installment in the Joe Pickett series. The characters (particularly Joe) and relationships are becoming more complex as well as the stories.
The Pickett books by Box keep getting better. I love the fact that he is economical with both story and words. Just like Pickett himself as I think of it now. This story and mystery grabbed me from the beginning and Box delivered well. No big surprises and none were necessary. I like the possibility of Jackson Hole as it would provide Box with plenty new storylines to explore. We’ll see what happens. Joe was even more human, more vulnerable there. The whole family was impacted as usual. Can’t wa...
Authors such as Craig Johnson, Tony Hillerman, James Lee Burke and Bill Pronzoni and others have set the bar for mysteries that take place in the contemporary rural American West. C.J. Box is not yet ready to join them. Despite having written a slew of novels about Wyoming game warden, Joe Pickett, this novel lacked pace, believeable characters and a compelling plot. Though reading about the beauty of Wyoming was engaging, I felt that the writing was average and most of the characters outside of...
I wish this was a little stronger.
I am really getting attached to C J Box books - especially those involving game warden Joe Pickett. Spending the summer at Yellowstone National Park helps me visualize these novels based on Northern Wyoming. Joe has to protect wildlife while dealing with hunters and developers - some honest others not. Really brings out the life of game wardens and the dangers they face while only getting a low salary. I will continue reading the Joe Pickett series.
I really enjoyed this one a lot. This plot and set of characters were beyond intriguing. This one moved at such a fast pace and I ended up staying up most the night to finish this installment of the Joe Pickett series. Big upgrade from the Trophy Hunt that had a bit of a woo woo feel. Thoroughly enjoyed this one!
4.5 Stars for Out of Range: Joe Pickett Series, Book 5 by C. J. Box read by David Chandler. Another great Joe Pickett story. It was an interesting mix of politics and high end development. Fortunately the Wyoming game warden came to town to set things straight.
This was somewhat a three star for me. Joe and Marybeth seems to drift apart a bit while Joe was called to another town where another Game Warden committed suicide. Joe didn't buy it and investigates. Some side story about environmental extremists and we meet the jerk sheriff again. Sweet ending!
3.5 starsI was debating between 3 and 4 stars and wound up in the middle but since Goodreads doesn't provide the ability to use half stars I am rounding up.Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett is temporarily assigned to the Teton district after the game warden there commits suicide. Teton is a far cry from Saddlestring. Teton is the big league ... there are old time ranchers and outfitters, environmentalists, and the rich and famous. Politicians, businessmen, movie stars. Lots of pressure from all si...
Out of Range is a fine example of CJ Box at his best. Box does not hold back when writing about uncomfortable issues such as suicide, divorce and marital unrest. As per normal we get a really fine Mistry for Joe to unravel. I listen to to this series and the narrator is amazing.
I'm a fan of the Joe Pickett series but I found myself struggling with this one.Some of it was the change in setting. Joe is pulled away from his sleepy part of Wyoming to the millionaire playground that is Jackson Hole. I've been there a couple of times and although the Grand Tetons and Lake Janet are truly spectacular, I didn't like the atmosphere in the town, which seemed like a theme park for the entitled. Joe doesn't like Jackson much either but I still missed being in Saddlestring.Then the...
Out of Range: not my favourite Joe Pickett book, but I very much welcomed the change of setting. The story was interesting enough to me here, and I will say that this is probably the fastest I've gotten through a novel in this series. I normally find them relatively slow, but this one chugged along nicely. And I was interested in how Box looked at veganism and the kind of eco-awareness that may be massive now, but wasn't quite so prevalent in 2005, when the novel was published.However, I really
This was another good book in a terrific series. This one sees Joe having to cover another territory in Jackson due to the recent suicide of a well respected warden. This area is quite the opposite of what he is used to. I feel like by the end of the book, Joe has earned a lot more respect from the public and those he works with. He has also matured and gained needed experience in every aspect since this series began. The only thing I didn’t like in this book were the family issues. It’s probabl...
