    I struggled to get into this because of the turmoil and disconnection from and with the main characters to each other.

    This was an enjoyable read. The ending was a little ragged, with some loose ends as often happens with books that are part of a sequential series. You have to read the next book to connect the dots. I’m not fond of that. After two days of reading I expect a satisfying ending with all issues nailed down. Still, I enjoyed the story and enough issues were resolved to make it satisfying. The remaining issues I was able to pretty much figure out. — di pinto

    The stories of Joe Pickett are some of the best reads around. They are intelligent and thought provoking.

    I'm reading these CJ Box - Joe Pickett novels in the order they were written, and by this novel Joe has matured in himself and exhibits less trepidation and impulsiveness. It was a quick read and the side story focused on Nate and Marybeth was clear and interesting. There was less of the world against Joe and more believable beaureaucratic and political interaction. There was a scene where Joe interacted with an outfitter that felt earthy and authentic and I was glad to see Joe step away from his usual by the book methods and attempt to incorporate some interpretation of all the facts into his decisions.
  • Always great

    Just when I think these "Pickett" books can't get any better. C. J. Box hits it out of the park! Out of Range takes it to a new level! My favorite book so far... At least until I read the next "Joe Pickett" novel...

    Having spent time in Wyoming, I find C.J. Box to be someone who has probably done the same. And he must love it as much as I. He writes with authority and authenticity. Mr. Box was recommended to me by an acquaintance and I am extremely glad he did. I have been reading through his collection and can't wait to start the next book. Everything he writes about Wyoming and it's people ring absolutely true. He captures the wilderness, and it's ruggedness and otherworldliness, with beautiful clarity. Joe picket and his family are brought to life with simplicity and realism. I feel I know them personally. Joe, as depicted, is the kind of man who should be respected and admired. Mr. Box has created a classic character. I wish I was more like him. READ ANYTHING BY C.J. BOX.

    I enjoyed Blue Heaven tremendously. Thank goodness I had read that first, because if Out of Range was the first CJ Box book, I would never read another.
