Dick Francis's Gamble Audiobook

" Felix does his dad proud. I will look forward to many more of the Francis books in the future. "

" ahhh...another book in the Dick Francis oeuvre (tho' this one is by his son Felix), perhaps the most peripherally about horseracing...that combines horseracing with another in-depth look at a profession with a mystery with romance to produce a page-turning pleasure. My only complaint...I read these too fast! "

" Felix Francis has continued telling great stories, just as his father, Dick Francis, did. "

" not great by previous standards .seemed like a book written for teens "

" Similar to his father's books, but a little of the sparkle was lost. Still a great read though! "

" The son is not quite as good as the father as an author. "

" Nice to have a Dick Francis to read again--even if Felix wrote it. He helped his dad with several of his later books, so he knows his way around a Francis mystery. Yes, Mark, they are a little predictable--but not quite formulaic. I was glad to read it! "

" very good,easy reading..... "

" A typical Francis story. "

" Emotionally tonedeaf. I so wanted to like this book. Hopefully Felix will improve over time but this freshman outing just doesn't show the human connection to story telling that his parents so deftly mastered. "

" Way too predictable and an expository romp through the trivia. "

" I have always enjoyed the old fashioned charm of Dick Francis. His son is carrying on this tradition with this new novel. "

" This story feels more like Dick Francis than some of Felix Francis books. That means he is getting better all the time. "

" I believe his final book put out by his son after his death. Hadn't the edge that most of his books had but still amazing to have one left. "

" Dick Francis mysteries are always fun to read. You learn a bit about horse racing and in this book about financial planners. Since Dick Francis died his son who cowrote a number of books with his dad is now carrying on solo. He has the same winning formula. "

" Well, Felix has done the family proud. This next-gen Francis offering is definitely up to speed. Truly a pleasure to read - fast-moving story in the mold, with likable characters and an extra dose of emotional involvement in the story, to boot. Truly a winner. "

" Felix Francis has taken over where his father left off and the story is just as twisted and convoluted as anything Dick Francis did. Kudus to Felix Francis. Yes, there are differences, but they work and add a slightly different perspective to the racing field. "

" In this book, Felix Francis takes his father's suspense/mystery model for a solo spin. While a little long, this book had the Dick Francis essentials--an ex-jockey gets swept up in a fast-paced mystery--and made good reading for a rainy weekend. "

" Always enjoy books by the Francis men. "
