"The Colorado Kid skims the surface pleasingly. It's a measure of how good King's storytelling is -- no news there -- that he's given us a mystery without a solution and not made us feel as if we've been cheated." - Charles Taylor, New York Newsday
"The characters and dialogue in Kid are wry and lively. The recounting of the man's last days as well as the investigation into his death are artfully detailed." - Carol Memmott, USA Today
