I picked this up after watching the TV series Skinwalkers, which is based on this series. The book focuses a lot on culture, which is interesting, but has very little in the way of characterization which made it difficult to find something to hold onto. My understanding is that's true for the first 2-3 books so I may keep going a few more books to see if I want to continue.
The books were written in the 70s so there's a lot of casual smoking (including giving multiple cigarettes to a couple of high school students) and some attitudes about women that while they certainly exist today would be less socially acceptable.
