I loved the Longmire TV series and the characters in the TV series, and so I finally decided to read the first novel in the series, which, I discovered, was a storyline that found its way into the TV series (at least partially, but mostly unrecognizable). Its never fair to compare a novel to a movie or to a TV series, but hey, Im human. And I feel obligated to report that I liked TV series Longmire character much better than the novels Longmire character.
