"I defy anybody to switch the story off without feeling the need to switch it on again and continue listening. Savage Run is a fascinating blend of genres - detective, murder, western and love story blended with well told lessons on geology, botany and biology. "

— Library Journal" CJ Box tells good stories....easy to listen to and you enjoy the characters and story. Love the CJ Box series. "
— Principal9817, 9/28/2022" This is now the second book of the Pickett series that I have listened to while traveling. Great story line and easy to follow while on the road. Many audio books have so many characters that they must be read. Not this one. Great for a long ride. "
— StevenS, 11/29/2020" Game warden Joe Pickett gets caught in the middle of a range wat between the ranchers and oil men of Wyoming and eco-terrorists. "
— Fredrick, 6/22/2011" Great book-he really makes you think you are out west running around the wilds of Wyoming and Montana. "
— Candace, 6/16/2011" a bit preachy but overall good "
— Heather, 3/27/2011" Every time I read a Box novel, i remember why i like his stuff. you can almost feel the great outdoors all around you. Ii forgot what a bad guy tom horn was. "
— Hrn1947, 1/27/2011" Still haven't decided if I really like this series yet. Every time I read one of these, I keep thinking I've read it before. It isn't like the plot line is all that common. Well, I'll try one more sometime. "
— Linda, 12/31/2010" A good sequel to Open Season. Intend to read more of him. "
— Beth, 12/12/2010" 3 1/2 stars. This is a new author for me as Bookmarks had recommended his novels. I liked Joe Pickett, Game Warden, as well as Box's descriptions of Wyoming. It was an enjoyable mystery and I will read more of Pickett's adventures. "
— Charisse, 10/8/2010" It is a really good mystery, a page turner. The characters are good. It is set in the contemporary West. "
— Frank, 9/15/2010" Great second book in the series. "
— Daniel, 6/23/2010" Refreshing read - Mr. Box portrays Joe as a normal, family loving, hard working guy - none of the brooding, self destructive behavior so often found in police procedural type stories (i.e. works by Colin Dexter, Ian Rankin, John Harvey). "
— Roxane, 6/20/2010" You're right, Aunt Sarah. I like C.J. Box! "
— Katharine, 5/24/2010" If you like modern day westerns about the rocky mountain states C.J Box is the the guy to read. "
— Quinn, 3/12/2010" I like the main characters and the wilderness settings, but I did not like the violence and the evil conspiracy premise. "
— Debby, 2/24/2010" Second entry in Joe Pickett series. Nice, quick, easy-to-read. It was a good break after reading heady stuff like The Passage and Girl who kicked the horner's nest. Only complaint is that the resolution hinges on a coincidence. I'm never a big fan of that. "
