A fun read if your religion is not Gunsmoke: The Show,
By
This review is from: Gunsmoke 03 Martial (Paperback)
I enjoyed this book; it captured the voice of Festus very well and had an undercurrent of fun and wholesomeness that I appreciated. The scene where Miss Kitty and Matt drink some strong whiskey ain't worth gettin' your long johns in a twist.If you like light read-westerns, this is a good one.

Gunsmoke...in name only.,
By
This review is from: Gunsmoke 03 Martial (Paperback)
I had never bought a Gunsmoke Novel. I read the reviews and purchased this book thinking anything extending the Gunsmoke story had to be great. WRONG. I forced myself through the book and wondered if anybody who posted a glowing review, or the author himself, for that matter, had ever watched the show that this book is supposedly based on. It's filled with character inaccuracies that just sorta dissapoint the reader who is a Gunsmoke fan.Matt Dillon and Miss Kitty getting cross-eyed drunk because of Matt breaking his leg? I mean, big tough Matt Dillon ain't man enough to handle a broken leg without an entire bottle of whiskey? Miss Kitty crawling in bed with Matt while he's in so much pain?? Festus riding a HORSE?? Even I remember he rode a mule named Ruth. Festus, forced to resign and leave town by Matt to follow a woman he wanted to marry??? HUH??? And, get this, Festus was able to read a lengthy telegram. You only have to watch a single episode to know that Festus couldn't read. All in all, Festus was made out to be a nasty, disgusting, town joke, and again, if you watched the show, you know the uncapable baffoon rap really doesn't fit the character. So, if your getting this book because it's Gunsmoke, forget it. If you want it because it's an interesting western, forget it. The author should've done his homework.

By far the best so far,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gunsmoke 03 Martial (Paperback)
This is the third book in the series and by far the best of the three. The story is good and easy to read. There is little to no overt violence or sexual content. So far the books have been #1 - mainly about Doc; #2 - mainly about Matt and #3 - mainly about Festus. Perhaps there will be a fourth mainly about Kitty. I hope that a fourth book comes out soon.
