Metzger's Dog: A Novel Audiobook

" Read the reviews before I bought this, love The Butcher's Boy and Jane Whitefield, just couldn't find a way to care about anybody in this book and didn't find it funny at all. The Informant, Strip, Dead Aim, and The Boyfriend are all 4-5 stars, this one just fell flat for me. "

" The story is kind of conventional, but I loved the interactions between the characters. "

" Outstanding book. A few parts were confusing but overall it was very well put together. Enticing and surprising all the way to the end. "

" This is a lighthearted caper novel with a handful of colorful characters and a touch of "The Cat Who". Perry uses words well, and instills the story with a wry humor, occasionally veering off into outlandishness. Dialogue is quick and witty. Not a gourmet meal, but a nice little fizz like cotton candy in your mouth. "

" Loved, this book, even though it was light weight, without any great point. Funny, with delightful ideas--loved the cat and his dog--and the story was kind while still captivaing enough to draw me in. Blundering criminals fumble through a crazy blackmail plot to hoodwink the CIA. "

" This was not high art, but it was extremely funny and well-paced. Even though it is an early 80's novel, it would hold up today with a few minor technology updates. "

" The Metzger in the title is a cat. How could you go wrong with that? Old-fashioned detective story with good guys and bad guys. I adored it. Woke up at 2 a.m. and couldn't go back to sleep until I finished it. Just ordered 3 more by this guy. Can't wait to read 'em. "

" Like other Thomas Perry books, this one is complex, tense, and well put together. But surprisingly, this one is also pretty damn funny. I love all his work, but have a special affection for this one because of the humor and, dare I say it, sweetness at its center. "

" What a fun read. If you like stories where everyone (criminals, cops, drug dealers) are all equal in the eyes of the author then you will love this. Just a fun and quick read that twists the crime drama around a bit to help you see all sides. "

" This book combines humor with action involving a group of people that the CIA believes are terrorists. It pokes fun at the organization comprised of several self important leaders who are obviously operating out of their element. Kind of a cross between Mission Impossible and Maxwell Smart. "
