Hundred-Dollar Baby Audiobook

" I love the relationship between Spenser and Susan throughout the spenser series. Great insights about love and autonomy. I hesitate slightly to recommend the series to those in my church due to language and violence. But I love the series. "

" I have read several of the Spencer books and like them. This one is a sequel and brings back some characters that I don't remember but was able to put it together with the background provided. It was a good quick read. "

" Very Good; Continuing character: Spenser; Spenser is approached by a call girl who has appeared in two other books to help her once again, but this time she may be beyond assistance "

" forgot I read this one before "

" Spencer, Hawk and a madam who Spencer has been trying to help since she was a girl. Murder and mayhem... a good, fun read for a warm afternoon! "

" Parker's characters are great.Great story's, easy reading. "

" Parker got the ending right with this one. I feel he's struggled with endings in several novels. I gave this a lower rating than his other Spenser books because the plot is a bit jagged. It rallied in the end, though. "

" I'm a huge Spenser fan, so I've read every book in the series. Some are outstanding, but I have to say I was very disappointed in this one. The ending didn't work for me at all and was way too convenient for Spenser. It just didn't sit well with me. I hope the next one will be better. "

" This is the first Spenser book that I've read, and while it has its amusing moments with an underlying "message" I can't say I'll be reading more of the series. The characters are a little too predictable for my taste. "

" One of the best things about author Robert B. Parker is how prolific he is. Every time I read a Spenser novel, I think how happy I am that there are still more out there for me to read. Good stuff. "

" Spenser.............. only 3 to go? "

" Love his reparte between bad guys. "

" THis book drives the point home yet again that the Spenser novels are tired. Now instead of inventing new characters, we get old characters who end up in hot water, and instead of going to the police, Spenser takes the law into his own capable hands "

" Boring - and eminently forgettable. "

" Spencer tries to help out a girl he helped out before. Another good novel from parker. "

" I'm a huge fan of the dry wit and repartee so I enjoyed this as much as the others. "

" I really like the characters that Parker has developed for his Spenser books, however, you also need a decent storyline. This storyline was almost decent, I already knew the characters, so all he did was fill in a few blanks in this story. Mr. Parker was going through the motions. "

" Entertaining, but a return to the familiar characters and patter of the early Spenser novels. Parker didn't stretch the series much with this entry. "

" I have read almost all books by this author, Robert B. Parker and I really do like his style of writing, very easy and quick reads "

" Comparing some of the references made in this story with the timeline established in earlier novels, Spencer and Hawk should be in their 70's. However, reading this story is like reconnecting with old friends. I liked it. The book is a typical Spencer/Hawk adventure. "

" I absolutely love the Spencer series and this one was no disappointment. I love how Parker describes things with such detail that you feel like you are present in the story. The clothes people wear, the food that they eat, the weather. It's fantastic!! "

" Also known as Hundred-dollar baby "

" This book was a very easy and quick read, but it was so quick that I couldn't absorb anything that was written. It was ok for a time filler read but if you want a good suspense try something else. "

" A little weaker than most Spenser tales. April Kyle returns. "

" I wasn't intending to like this, but I did! Quick, easy read, but still has a lot of meat to the storyline. I will be reading more!! "

" I love all his books. Great characters. Witty Dialogue. Alwyas a fun read. "

" I must be one of the few people in the universe who hasn't been reading about Spencer and Hawk for years and years. This was a fun book, and I'll look forward to catching up on the others in the series. "

" Listened in the car on the way to Oregon and back. I think I'd rather watch the tv show. The writing.... "

" It's always a pleasure to find another Spenser novel on the shelf. I didn't recall April's original appearance in the series, but she sure swings back into it with a vengeance. "

" fun, fast read - loved it! "

" I'm a true fan of Robert Parker, especially the Spenser series. It was sad that we lost him this year and there will be no more. I loved the sense of humor and the interactions between the characters and will miss the anticipation of every new story. "

" The usual fun. A quick read. "

" Robert B. Parker is able to give you a quick, easy, interesting read and what more can you ask of an author than that? This is another Spenser novel and an enjoyable one at that. J. Robert Ewbank author, "John Wesley, Natural Man, and the 'Isms'" "

" I have read several of the Spencer books and like them. This one is a sequel and brings back some characters that I don't remember but was able to put it together with the background provided. It was a good quick read. "
