Field Gray: A Bernie Gunther Novel Audiobook

" I'd been delaying reading this for some reason - maybe because I wasn't as interested in Bernie's experiences in Argentina and Cuba - but after the first hundred pages or so, I'm gripped, as it recounts events of 1941 and later 1931. although I must admit, for the first time when reading a Bernie Gunther book, I find myself wondering just how reliable a narrator Bernie is, especially in respect of what happened in the war. A good addition to the series, though, with enough plot twists to keep lovers of complex thrillers amused. "

" Gotta love Bernie Gunther and the history dripping from Kerr's novels. "

" this novel deals mostly in 1954 germany with many flashbacks to bernie gunther's wwii service. more spy than detective novel, but still amazingly smooth prose that is packed with facts, some of note are the french concentration camps of Gurs and Le Vernet, cold war Berlin, the trials and subsequent paroles of nazi killers (some killed as many as 54,000 people "single handedly") some only serving a few years in prison, the french SS, battle of Konigsberg, soviet pow camps, and well LOTS of other facts and fictions. "

" I give it 4 stars because anything in the Bernie Gunther series is superior, but this one takes a long time to get going and doesn't have the same storytelling sensibility as some of the other book in the series. However, after the story does get going its another good yarn with one of the great characters in novels today. "

" One of the best in the series. Although I have to admit it has been awhile since I read the early books. Fascinating mix of fiction and reality. Kerr isn't trying too hard to write a pulp and seems to flow better. "

" Absolutely great. Bernie is a great human being. "

" I like the character Bernie Gunther. Like the writing. Like the audio book reader. But had trouble keeping up with the story bouncing around. "

" If you like the Bernie Gunther Novels, than you don't even have to ask, best wwII and afterwards detective/espionage fiction out there presently. Kerr never dissapoints. "

" I want to give this 3 1/2 stars, not my favourite of his novels but I still enjoyed it. It seemed to take an awfully long time to get to the real gist of the plot in this book so I did lose interest for some time, unlike the other books in this series which I haven't been able to put down. "

" i was going to Berlin and wanted a book about more than the nazi era. this fit the biil. i'm looking forward to reading more bernie gunther mysteries. "

" A good way to end this series. I loved the excellent writing and the meticulous research, that wasn't rammed down our throats, but gunther still too much of a Chandleresque character, which I have never liked. "

" Just couldn't make it through another end of WWII novel right now so I quit reading this. I was enjoying the beginning in Cuba, however. "

" I love all the Bernie Gunther books I've read. This is probably the weakest of the bunch, owing mostly to the jumping back and forth in time and place. "

" I thought this book would be quite good and started off well but ultimately I found it rather dull and gave up after around 150 pages. "

" Arrested in Cuban waters, Gunther is moved from Guantanamo to a Berlin prison where American, Russian, French and British intelligence all want him to help capture a former Stasi chief. "

" Philip Kerr and Bernie Gunther have yet to disappoint me. Field Gray covers plenty of questionable moral ground and twists and kept me entertained to the end. "

" I am really liking the gritty "Bernie Gunther" series. Great writing and historical detail, with more than a touch of humour. "

" This was my least favorite of all the Gunther books, one gets a sense of the long slog of Soviet Work camps and of the cold war. "

" My first Bernie Gunther and my last. 0 of 10 stars "

" If you like the Bernie Gunther Novels, than you don't even have to ask, best wwII and afterwards detective/espionage fiction out there presently. Kerr never dissapoints. "

" This was my first Bernie Gunther novel so I was a little lost by all of the "alphbet" military and intelligence agency references but was surprising pleased by the unexpected ending - there is some justice in life, at least in fiction. "

" I was a little hesitant about reading this book-seemed more like a 'guys' book, however, I really enjoyed it-Bernie Gunther is a fascinating character. He really grows on you-his biting humor is spot-on. This is just the first of the Bernie Gunther novels I will be reading. "
