Fearless Jones (Abridged) Audiobook

" I regret buying this. Dull story and ridiculous characters make for a painful read. I had to really push myself to finish it because I really wanted to give up about 100 pages into it. "

" Another great set of characters, gun-swinging action and complicated criminal plots by Walter Moseley! I could have done without descriptions of the narrator's manhood and sexual entanglements (is it perhaps a neurological condition that leaves him unconscious after every romantic encounter?), but these were minor annoyances in an otherwise fun reading experience. "

" I am almost finished... I just love the way Mosley writes. His imagery is superb, you really "hear" the voice of each character, and he simply tells a great story. "

" Loved that it mentioned a red Nash Rambler and Hoover Street. "

" Had to give up on it and move on. I found that I just didn't care to spend any more time with it. "

" this book was good it kept me interested the whole time. it was mixed with all types of violence,money,and sex.i couldnt put the book down even though i didnt understand some parts. i just had to read it over again until i did. "

" I didn't really finish--I skipped to the end. Somehow it just wasn't my kind of thing. The writing was ok, I just didn't click with the characters "

" Great read! I truly got lost in how Mosley worked in the whole Los Angeles scene and the race relations between such a metropolitan melting pot. "

" i learned that even though things may not be going your way in the beginning most things that start off bad work out in the end "

" Weak tea compared to Easy! Somewhat disappointing but readable. "

" Probably the best Walter Mosley book I've read "

" continuing a noir theme, enjoy mosely's writing style, different (but still gives that same "vibe") as chandler and explores a different part of los angeles for the time period...apparently there are more fearless jones novels, will need to check out... "

" Masterful detective story. Protagonist and fearless Jones are the black hardy boys. Decent read. I enjoyed it. "

" Shades of Elmore Leonard. A good read but nothing that shakes my world. "

" This is another great Walter Mosley book. I have read them all and this is ranked in the top three. "

" Starts the Fearless Jones series. Wonderful, quick read. "

" Walter Mosley is among the best authors currently alive -- and definitely my favorite. You'll enjoy anything of his you read (mystery, science fiction), but my favorite series is the Fearless Jones series. O "

" A new P.I. created by Mosley. Set in LA like the Easy Rawlins series. "

" Mosley writes beautifully with wonderful descriptions but a convoluted plot and too many characters keep me from giving this one four stars. "

" Entertaining holiday reading "

" Another superb description of how it was done in the 50's in black LA. "

" 1954 Los Angeles with two black men navigating racism and thugs to find the men who burned down Paris Mintor's used book store. A helpful old Jewish couple, a beautiful, complicated woman, and others follow the trail to the end. Loved the characters and writing in this book. "

" This is another great Walter Mosley book. I have read them all and this is ranked in the top three. "

" No mysteries or blond idylls (I know she's not really a "heroine" per se, but sick of the ink spent on them). "

" easy fast read aand very interesting "

" Paris Minton and Fearless Jones are friends, they have each others backs. The dialect is fun and even tho the story is convoluted, I enjoyed the adventures of Paris & Fearless. "

" Nice, noir mystery set in 1950s LA. Really liked the main characters. Well done! "

" Shades of Elmore Leonard. A good read but nothing that shakes my world. "

" i love the way Walter Mosely describes the lifestyle of the characters in the book and is so specific when he names the locations and what not "

" i just start reading the book fearless jones by Walter Mosley and i really think im going to like this book. "
