Review # 1 was written on 2021-01-17 00:00:00 Cheryl Grue There are over 70 books in this series; I'm going to have to pick up my pace on reading the books if I want to finish them before I am 100! I love the humor in the series and end up laughing out loud. Hank is so full of himself that I can't hold my giggles inside. In Amarillo, we were having some weather, so this line that "only barbed wire stood between the High Plains and the North Pole" truly resonated. The weather folks on TV often tell us that someone took down the fence when the winds howl and the snow blows. There are some returning characters in this book, but I think it can be read without having all the background, although with any series it does add some depth if the books are read in order. I also think that it is appropriate to be read to young children as a chapter book, so if questions come up, they can be answered. There are some parts that could feel a bit scary to young children. The good part is the book is entertaining enough to not bore a parent reading it. Recommended for anyone who enjoys humor, wants to learn more about ranch life, or likes dogs.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-07-29 00:00:00 Pradeep Salian Hank: Murder in the Middle Pasture This episode of Hank (Head of Ranch Security) was particularly hilar … riveting. Ya'see Hank not only had to deal with the usual dangers of an upper echelon cowdog but the winter weather of the Texas Panhandle. As the cowboys of the XIT Ranch put it, "… only barbed wire stood between the High Plains and the North Pole." It's a spine tingling tale about the fate of a security animal hanging among savage coyotes, a vicious pack of wild dogs, buzzards, murder, and a princess. Also, there are the educational aspects of Murder in the Middle Pasture. Hanks vocabulary really comes out in this novel - words like Pre-Visitation Dreameration and Reversible Argumenterrogation. 'Course if you are not into intense spy thrillers and espionage, like me, a lot of this book will go over your head. Go ahead. Give it a read. If you dare.
