I don't know what it is, but it ain't Gunsmoke, May 5 2007
This review is from: Gunsmoke 02 Dead Mans Witness (Paperback)
The previous reviewers are too kind. There is NO SEMBLANCE to anything Gunsmoke in this, or any of Joseph West's other 'Gunsmoke' novels. I would venture to guess the man has never seen a Gunsmoke episode, or if he did, he didn't 'get' them. The characters have no resemblance to Matt Dillon, Kitty, Doc or Festus. It is sad that he has somehow been given rights to these legendary characters, and has made charactatures of them. Very disappointing.

Too good grammar, Jan 25 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Gunsmoke 02 Dead Mans Witness (Paperback)
For those of you who enjoyed the Gunsmoke show, you will enjoy the book as well. For those who were and are complete fans of the show and can't get enough, you may not like the book as well. The story is quite good, but the characters speak close to perfect english at times, making the book less believable. I would like to see more development of the main characters and perhaps we will see that is future books. I hope there are more.

Dillon was a UNITED STATES marshal !, April 12 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Gunsmoke 02 Dead Mans Witness (Paperback)
For Gunsmoke fans who crave tidbits of romantic verbal interplay between Matt and Kitty, this book is worth the reading. However, there are glaring character discrepancies, such as Festus's accent, grammar, and ability to read. Worse was the major plot device which contended that Matt was a lawman chosen by the town council and thus could be dismissed by them!
