True to the characters
To be honest at first I was not sure if I would like this book. My main concern was would the author be able to present the characters of Gunsmoke as they were in the TV series. The answer was yes the story was true to the characters of Gunsmoke. The author had the characters acting out their parts of the story just as they did in film. I could see and hear them in my head as I read this story. It was like reading a missing episode of Gunsmoke. The only problem that I had was the editing need just a little fine tuning, but nothing that was that glaring. I think that fans of Gunsmoke will enjoy this book.

Well-Written Slice of Nostalgia
I grew up with Gunsmoke, and recently discovered it again on DVD. You can tell by watching just a few of its episodes that its success, which continued on through 20 seasons, was largely due to two things- a great cast, starting with James Arness, and some fantastic, well-written stories. Steve Gust captured in this book, the characters, the dialogue, and the wonderful storytelling of the original. It was a well-welcomed trip down nostalgia road- and one most needed in these negatively changing times!

Just like the show
Not bad
It had the character's personalities like the show. It was like the tv series as far as the storyline.
