review 1: I'm a big Lansdale fan... and this book to me didn't quite match up to some of his other books. Usually, I can't put down whatever I'm reading by him - but in the case of The Thicket, there were a few spots I had to force myself to keep reading. Not a terrible book or anything, by any means, just (in my opinion) not quite the readability and compelling style I've come to expect from one of my favorite writers. That said, I've heard they're making a movie based on this novel, and I think that might actually be pretty great!
review 2: Joe Lansdale is just a great writer! He's not a comedian...far from it, but he has such a knack for dialogue and quirky characters that you will find yourself laughing out loud more than a little. This book is a standalone and was m
... morey first Lansdale. I have subsequently got into the Hap and Leonard series by the same author which are as good or better. Give this guy a read...you won't be disappointed. less

Objectively what I read of this was very good. I just didn't connect with the main character.

Excellent book. Great characters and interest was held from first couple of pages.

Quite moving western quest. I usually enjoy Lansdale's writing style.
