A Savage Place Audiobook

" Genius!!! The soul of wit and intellect apparently resides in any work by Robert B. Parker. "

" Spenser travels to L.A. to protect a news personality bumping up against the Mob. I have always enjoyed the way Parker describes Boston -- he does the same great job with the City of Angels. Another essential Spenser read. "

" This one is set in LA which makes sense that it was made into a movie. "

" I love Spenser, but this novel was only OK. Spenser himself was in top form, sarcastic, clever, self-deprecating and wise. The setting, LA, was also well done - clear and detailed. But I thought the plot was dull. Maybe I just don't relate to racketeers? Also, I heartily disliked Candy Sloan. She was dishonest and insincere. She didn't have Spenser's or her own best interests at heart. "

" This was not one of Spenser's better stories. Parker started to switch his writing style which is fine, but the story was lacking. "

" The book in which Robert B. Parker shows that he knows L.A. streets as well as he knows Boston streets. I just didn't like this one as much. I didn't like some of the things that Spenser did in this book and I didn't like some of the things that happened and I didn't really like how it ended. "

" An OK one for Spenser. "

" This one is a typical Spenser story: not much new except a small twist at the end. These are terrific for a relaxing and quick read. "
