God Save the Child Audiobook

" R B Parker writes the classic gumshoe detective novels. I love his books. Easy to follow on long drives, not too complex with too many characters. The reader (speaker) has a great voice and is easy to understand. "

" Vintage Robert Parker: the second novel in the Spenser series where he meets Susan. It's nice to go back and see Spenser's origin. "

" Robert Parker is always entertaining reading, though there is a bit much testosterone for me. At least in this one, Susan Silverman is making her first appearance and has not yet become tiresome. The parents of this seemingly abducted adolescent become tiresome (especially the bitch mother who is two dimensional)as is the teenager, but there are some interesting twists. "

" Second Spenser an improvement over the first & introduces Susan. Working on third in series. "

" Susan Silverman enters Spenser's life--as a high school guidance counselor. "

" This is one of the first Spenser for Hire books Parker wrote. They're a wonderful series ... I highly recommend them. "

" Also an enjoyable early Spenser book. I love reading about what he cooks when he has time. "

" Very enjoyable. Not too dirty or violent -- just enough to make for a suspensful detective story. That Spenser is quite charismatic! Also, I really dug his 70's outfits. "

" Way better than the cover or the blurb on the back would suggest. Definitely worth the read if you like detective fiction. "

" The 2nd Spenser (out of 40 or so?) - more enjoyable mindless detective fiction. Parker pays homage to Dashiell Hammett; at one point in the novel Spenser gives the fake name of Nick Charles. "

" Short quick read. Spencer kicks ass, literally. "

" Good private eye story about a guy trying to find a boy while dealing with the boy's crazy parents and finding a woman who he likes a lot. "

" Figured out part of the case very early, but had some interesting twist. Will continue reading this series "

" Classic Spenser. Second book in the series. "

" Good straight forward PI story. No real twists and no clear resolution. Which actually is a good thing in this story. Not for the politically correct crowd as it full of societal norms of the mid 1970's. "

" For my review please visit my blog: Martin's View: God Save the Child. "

" The second Spenser novel introduces us to one of Parker's unforgettable dysfunctional families, the Bartletts. We also meet Susan Silverman, and arr treated to more humor and insight. A great read, and we're only getting started! "

" Nancy 5 stars; Ron 4.5 stars - library book "

" The second Spenser book. Not nearly as good as the first --- a bit predictable (for some reason, no one has any idea how a murder occurred, when it's incredibly obvious). And the characters are drawn in rather thick strokes. Still, good escapist noir. "

" Interesting to read how Spencer and Susan met. Always enjoy Spencer's humor! "

" This is the second in the P I Spenser serious. I enjoyed the humor and the seriousness of the story. I enjoy the writing style of Robert B. Parker. I will be looking for the third in the series soon. "

" Nancy 5 stars; Ron 4.5 stars - library book "

" I always enjoy reading a Spenser novel, especially when I'm looking for an easy, fun read during the dog days of August. "

" Susan Silverman enters Spenser's life--as a high school guidance counselor. "

" Second Spenser an improvement over the first & introduces Susan. Working on third in series. "

" I love Spenser and am glad we get to meet Susan in this one, but it wasn't Parker's best plot. The ending picked up though, so that's good. Reading Parker makes me hungry as he always has Spenser cook the most amazing meals. "

" Love the snappy repartee!! Spenser is one funny guy. And good at what he does, which is detect. Kind of reminds me of Elvis Cole, another smart-a private detective. "

" Also an enjoyable early Spenser book. I love reading about what he cooks when he has time. "

" good. Second in the Spencer series - amazing how RBP evolved his characters. "

" I enjoyed reading this book; it was fast paced and it took me only two days to finish it. Spenser is quite a sleuth and the reader finds out a little bit more about his past life. A very good read. "
