Now & Then Audiobook

" I enjoy Robert Parker's writing style. Mostly conversation. (Although the conversations between Spencer and Susan are a bit odd) Fast and enjoyable reading. "

" I think I have read nearly everything Robert Parker has written and have actually grown a little bit bored by some of more recent. This new book about private investigator Spenser injects some elements that made me glad that I brought the book home. For those who have read other books in the Spenser series, there are some changes in the Spenser/Susan Silverman romance. Check it out! "

" I finished this one last night, another good Spenser novel. "

" Now and Then (Spenser) by Robert B. Parker (2008) "

" I miss Spenser. I wonder if Boston is still safe. "

" I have read about all the Spencer novels. I never tire of Parker's snappy dialogue. "

" I read this book in two nights (and stayed up way too late doing it). I have read almost all of Robert Parker's books and he is one of my favorite authors so it's no wonder I liked this one as well. I'd recommend this book and author to anyone! "

" The Spencer series is always a good read -- great, witty dialogue, but i felt this one to be kinda boring plot-wise. "

" Read all of Parker's mysteries.....great!! "

" Great Parker repartee, so-so story line. "

" What can I say. This was a Spencer for hire book by Robert B Parker. That is enough to tell you it is a good book. Every Spencer for hire book I have read has been superb. "

" Quick and easy read....the quintessential detective novel. Spenser: your basic independent hero, who associates with murderers but has a soft heart and a noble code, with a psychologist for a girlfriend, so there is a sprinkling of philosphy. "

" Fast read, keep picturing the "Spenser for Hire" TV series. How can he and Susan not age?! "

" Standard blend of romance & macho; easy read as is 80% dialogue and everybody talks in short declarative sentences. "

" This book was an easy and fast read, but i just really couldn't get into. Maybe if I go back and read the previous Spenser Novels I would enjoy the book more. "

" Same old, same old. The dust jacket on this one made it seem like it was going to be much more exciting than it was. The final "showdown" is anticlimatic. "

" A popper... It's a formula thaat works, again and again. "

" My first Robert B. Parker. Overall, not bad. The action was pretty fast-paced, which is what I like in this type of book. "

" Parker's Spenser novels are always a good, quick read. I enoy also because they are set in Boston "

" Ever dependable Spenser with the redoubtable Hawk and the lovely Susan, my companions of many years. I think I;ve read them all at least once. "

" While investigating a straying spouse, Spenser encounters a dangerous man with a troubled past. In addition, Spenser and Susan learn more about each other. The result is a potboiler that works brilliantly on several levels. "

" Spenser novel with Susan, Hawke, Vinnie & Chollo. Don't bother - you've read it before. Never went anywhere, no heart. "

" Classic Parker, spare, compressed always a good read. "I was driving, Susan was beside me. It was dark. The wipers were moving gently. It embodied most of what I wanted in life, alone with Susan, going someplace, protected from the rain." "

" Another audio book that did not impress. Parker is a better read than a listen. Way to much introspection. "

" By this stage of his career, Parker was running on automatic. Kind of fun but really a mashup of previous books. "

" just a fun, mindless beach read! "

" When you are desperate for something really easy, Robert Parker and Spenser are the answer. I can't give it more than two stars but it was just what I needed at the time. "

" The Susan / Spenser relationship gets mawkish, but otherwise entertaining as usual. "

" A bit more Hawk in this one and so, one I enjoyed it more than other recent Spenser novels I've read. "

" What can I say. This was a Spencer for hire book by Robert B Parker. That is enough to tell you it is a good book. Every Spencer for hire book I have read has been superb. "

" Eh, it's fine, but it promises a government terrorist plot that it doesn't really deliver on. One of the more unfocused Parker mysteries I've read. Not the best, but still -- a fix. "

" Audiobook- Glad I didn't start with #1 of the series and work my way through to this one ! Take a pass ;-) "

" Not too many authors can create this many books with a central character. Spenser is one of my favorites- love his diction and his confidence. All his books are worth reading and a definite escape for a day or two. "

" Gotta have my Spenser every fourth book. "

" A good story to listen to on a long car trip. Too bad Robert Parker recently died. No more of these fun reads will be coming along. "
