Hit Man Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Story of hit man, how he lives his life, how he works. A bit dry, but well written, and good enough that I went on to read sequels. "

" I can't say enough about Lawrence Block! I look forward to reading the other Keller stories. He's not a hero type, but he's very likable, if you can like a hit man. There was enough humor and thoughtfulness in his thoughts to keep me reading. Great! "

" All the Hit Man books are nice fixups of the Keller stories by Lawrence Block. "

" I read this one last out of the four in the series, and it was okay. The characters were much more developed in the other books which was probably why this one was more iffy for me, but nonetheless I enjoyed it very much. "

" I should probably give this 4 stars, because the world of this sociopathic hit man is very interesting, and remarkably (and unrealistically) peaceful. I just can't bring myself to strongly recommend it because of content, even though I have to admit that I really liked it. "

" I've always thought Lawrence Block was a bit of a hack, but his Keller series is great, starting with Hit Man. Keller being established as an everyman is the joy of the series, and the actual killings are more often than not asides that are treated as such. "

" Bad book and series from an excellent writer. Hit man character has zero personality, kills people so he can buy stamps...wow, woo-hoo. Makes me never want to read another in this dud of a series. More Bernie and Scudder, please! "

" Unusual premise but he pulled it off. Read it in one sitting. "

" Hated this book at first, but by chapter 3 it hooks you. "

" The main character is very likeable - a hit man who's completely neurotic. A quick, funny read. "

" Hey, I like bad guys - sympathic, conflicted or maybe its just my own desire to believe that Tony Soprano & Martin Blank are people too. At least Martin has great taste in music, eh? "

" I can't get enough of Keller. He is a hit man with a heart. Lawrence Block is one of my fav authors and he never fails to satisfy. This is a "you can't put it down" story. "

" Oh no, another good series to read. About of all things a likeable hitman. "

" except for the final chapter, this book was very interesting and fun. who would have thought that you could empathize with a hit man? each chapter was it's own story so it felt like i was flying through the book. "

" This is the second Block that I've read (not finished this one). As much as I enjoy mystery and thrill stories, the Keller persona as a hired assassin is a little too much for me. I must say that Lawrence Block is an excellent writer. Having said all this I'm not going to rate this book. "

" An easy read ... feels like a collection of linked short stories more than a traditional narrative. The Hit Man is a sympathic and somewhat neurotic type ... your basic " everyman " dealing with the banalities and trivialities of his work with no connection to the issue of being a killer. "

" Good enough for a hospital waiting room. "

" Great collection of short stories about a hit man. Sly and tangential, with murder almost incidental. Great stuff! "

" Friend recommended this book. It was okay. Guy was a bit of a weirdo. Entertaining. "

" hjnj "

" Narrated by Lawrence Block. A book about an assassin really cannot get any better than this. "

" Hit Parade was more episodic than I remember the previous Keller books being, but I still really enjoyed it. It follows the same formula as the other books in the series, but sometimes a formula is just about perfect. Why mess with it? "

" This book was okay but the end just didn't end right. "

" Keller is definitely my favourite hitman. I love that these books aren't gory, and that with each story you get more insight into the man and his relationships (with Dot, dogs, and stamps)! "

" Felt like a collection of short stories that had been linked. Keller remains an interesting character, an introspective hit man. Loved the ending of the book, with Keller caring more about the fate of the rabbits in an audio book than about the woman he just killed. "
