James Lee Burke
"Toby Thompson knows Montana's bars, books, bridges, and backcountry. I'll read anything he writes."

Carl Hiaasen
"'Thompson is ... an intrepid tripper in the Merry Prankster sense, and an Urban Thoreau."

"...graceful and entertaining ... to say nothing of the energetic reporting."
