Burglars Can't Be Choosers Audiobook

" this series is like bon bons; easy to read and funny; "

" This is my first Lawrence Block book. I'm not sure if I'll become a fan of Bernie Rhodenbarr but I'll probaby listen to another one to see. "

" Block's "Bernie" series is a wonderful, funny diversion. Especially entertaining if yiou listen to the Audible version read by the author. "

" I enjoy all of the Bernie Rhodenbarr books. There is a gentle humor, wonderful characters and delightful twists "

" I liked this book, overall, enough to pick up the second in the series. I think Bernie makes for an interesting protagonist and works well as a first person narrator. It's light reading, which was nice. "

" Worth the time, gave a few laughs, almost believably tangled story. Who doesn't like getting inside the mind of a criminal? "

" I really enjoyed this book, but unfortunately, the ending was too convoluted. Otherwise, it's a fast-paced read with good characterizations. You have to love the hero. "

" Fun book, a bit sexual here & there. "

" I think I had read a Block book twenty or twenty five years ago, so I came across him again and gave him a shot. It was enjoyable and felt like a throwback to a more innocent time. It was funny at times, but not uproariously so. Good summer read. "

" Great start to Block's burglar series. I recently watched the film based on this novel. I can't recommend it, primarily because the character of Carolyn was distorted beyond recognition. "

" I love Bernie Rhodenbarr. "

" I mean, why not? I couldn't (and you shouldn't) survive on mysteries alone, but this was a fine book for a lazy Sunday. I'll probably read more of this guy, and i'll probably give all of it like three or four stars, and that's all fine. "

" Good start to the series. I am back filling the story having started with quite a few of the later books, in fact most of them. These are fun, light reading. "

" I've read most of the Rhodenbarr mysteries, but somehow the first few eluded me. Until now. Next will be 'The Burglar in The Closet'. "

" the title and back cover sold me in an airport. i guess it wasn't so bad that i didn't finish it on my trip. i found 'haunted' in an airport. including the 'ruins' the current score of books i can remember buying in airport is: jay-1, airport-2. "

" It's a bit dated making me wonder how Bernie would handle the digital age but it's still a very engaging mystery novel. "

" 1977 - Bernie Rhodenbarr #1. "

" This series is very entertaining. The main character is funny and endearing. Very easy reads. "

" A burglar solves a murder that he was charged with. "

" Fun introduction to Bernie Rhodenbarr and his life of crime interspersed with solving murders. "

" Interesting twist using a burglar as the main character. I liked it. "

" The first Rhodenbarr mystery in the series, it's odd to go back after starting later in the series. He doesn't yet have the friends and places that we come to associate with my favorite burglar, but he still has the word play and the keep you guessing attitude. "

" Look, it's not literature, but it's a great piece of genre fiction. "

" The 1st in the series. Professional burglar has to turn PI to clear his name of a murder. "

" Maybe a 3.5 star book... Very fun and I will most likely read the rest of the series. I thought about giving it 4-stars, but then I recalled that every night the last few days I've fallen asleep while reading it. "

" Worth the time, gave a few laughs, almost believably tangled story. Who doesn't like getting inside the mind of a criminal? "

" A fun, fast read. Funny and charming. The main character is a "gentleman burglar" who takes a job to steal and object and ends up accused of murder. It is the first in the series and I'll be looking for the others in the series. "

" Fun Gets a little expository at times. "

" Great character. Good humor. Fun read. "

" Interesting twist using a burglar as the main character. I liked it. "

" This is the first in a series. I heard that one of the books in the series was really good, so I started with the 1st one. It was okay for a mystery. I enjoyed it and it was a quick read. I am not inspired to read the whole series. I am going to skip to the book that I was told was good. "

" The first in the Bernie Rhodenbarr series, involving a burglar as a sleuth. Bernie is very clever and the book is written tongue-in-cheek. However, all the characters seem to be the same, with the same acerbic humor. Even though it’s colorful, it’s still monochromatic. "

" Never read from a burglar's POV,but it was a pretty fun novel if you are bored. It's a lot better than Alex Cross though. "

" Set in NYC, Bernie Rhodenbarr, is a career burgler with unusual bungles in his career path. Only the rich and with no violence is his motto. But the best laid plans go awry and Bernie is on the lam. The first book of a slightly twisted series. the mystery is in who set Bernie up. "

" I love this series - the premise, the Upper West Side setting, the wit, Rhodenbarr himself and his relationship with Ray the cop - however implausible the plot. "

" Fun book, a bit sexual here & there. "
