Reflex Audiobook

" I really enjoyed this audio book. I have always liked this author and this is a great example of why. This is 1 of my favorites. "

" One of my favorite DF books, with a likeable hero, a really nice subplot, and characters that ring true. "

" Dick Francis...such a guilty pleasure!! "

" This was my first exposure to Francis, and he became an auto-buy. At the time, we'd been doing a lot of photography, and I actually figured out what was going on based on some of the obscure clues -- usually I'm not that quick. "

" Reflex is not my favorite Dick Francis, but it's still a fun read. There's lots of good information about photography and photographic puzzles in here, and a rather sweet story about an isolated man creating a new sense of family for himself while he solves the mysteries dumped on his doorstep. I was disappointed that one important thread was left hanging at the end, but I suppose we should trust the main character to fix that problem as his life continues after the book is finished! "

" An all time favorite. I love the photographic puzzles. "

" A very engaging mystery...I found it hard to put down! "

" This was one of the first Dick Francis books I read and remains my favorite to this day. It's fun to read and not completely fluffy. The photography tricks are succinctly but clearly explained and were part of the initial draw for me, but the satisfying plot and the sympathetic protagonist (Phillip Nore) are the reasons it stays at the top of my list. "

" The photography puzzles the hero figures out to solve the mystery are fascinating. "

" The first and most memorable Dick Francis novel I ever read. So understated yet packs a powerful punch. "

" I had a little trouble getting into this one. Having said that, I'm glad I stuck with it. I can see how the protagonist was a foundation for my (later published) favorite, Sid Halley. Dick Francis does (did) such an amazing job of of creating likeable protagonists. Sadly, I've almost read everything he's published. "

" Vintage Dick Francis. A good one that I couldn't put down. "

" If "Whip Hand" is Dick Francis best novel, "Reflex" in my opinion is his next best novel. "

" If you love horse, you can try this. Else dont give a f... here. "

" I enjoy reading Dick Francis because of his detail of the British horse racing and jumping life. His heroes are almost always really smart and ethical jockeys, even if they aren't always people you'd like to hang out with. Easy recreational reading. "

" Classic Dick Francis! "

" The story of Philip Nore a Steeplechase jockey at the end of his career who moves into the world of photography. Includes information of how his irregular upbringing led to his career choices - and some crime and violence as well! "

" Dick Francis writes great jockey-mysteries and this was no exception. They're easily read, set in the day-to-day drudgery of the equestrian world in England, yet very entertaining. "

" Francis is always good for a light, enjoyable read. Perfect bedtime material. "

" A book I'd read years ago, but was still enjoyable to re-read. Francis takes us into the intricacies of what can be done with a photographer's film. "

" Another quality read from the master of horse crime. "

" Vintage Dick Francis. A good one that I couldn't put down. "

" Another piece of candy from Dick Francis. These make me feel closer to my grandfather, who reads them constantly. "

" Francis is always good for a light, enjoyable read. Perfect bedtime material. "

" Another great mystery by DF. Fast moving and you learn a little something about photography. There is a bit of a romance and the main character Philip Nore grows over the course of the book. "

" The best of Dick Francis. superb. "

" Enjoyed this one very much until the last couple of pages. Still another reliable Francis book. "

" Francis is always good for a light, enjoyable read. Perfect bedtime material. "

" Not great, but better than the first two father/son collaborations. The narrator isn't nearly as interesting or as developed as those in Francis' solo efforts, but a better than the other two, as is the plot. "

" More about the betting side of horses than the actual running of them. First Dick Francis mystery I've read that didn't have a jockey as the main character. "

" This is the first book by Dick Francis that I have read. It's a good thriller. Unlike other men's adventures/thrillers it's realistic. I didn't understanding everything about the betting but there isn't too much of it to worry about. "

" Good Old Dick Francis! His second last book..... "

" The Dick Francis novels are always good. No matter when they are written, they aren't "dated". "

" The last collaboration, I think, before Dick Francis died. It has good reviews so I'm hopeful this one will jog along as well as the last one (Silks which I thought would make an excellent film or TV miniseries). And having finished it - it was great. Loved it. Very pacy. "

" I enjoy reading Dick Francis books and this one did not disappoint. It was his usual easy reading, but I loved the mystery of who killed the dad and the twists and turns that ended up going with it. "

" Despite my dyscalculia I enjoyed the numeric aspects of the story because I could look at the handy sizing chart provided to find the relative direction of change between any two betting odds, which was the relevant point rather than any real value. "

" I agree that this one still doesn't quite have the old Dick Francis magic but it's tons better than Silks. Ned Talbot is more like Francis' usual hero. "

" Pretty entertaining, and I liked the 'twist' at the end. Everything nicely wrapped up and all loose ends tied. A nice, easy read. "

" It was fun and good-paced book. Interesting twists and a very believable character. Also enjoyable even if you don't know much about horse racing. "

" If you love horse, you can try this. Else dont give a f... here. "

" Good typical Dick Francis - intriguing read "

" I like Dick Francis--quick reads, interesting facts about horse racing and usually, a good mystery. "

" Another quality read from the master of horse crime. "

" This was a very well done mystery. I think it, along with Dead Cert, are my favorite Dick Francis books so far. "

" good solid read. some neat asides on specialty photo development mostly becoming obsolete because of digital. jockey ending career looking for answers to some pretty involved mysteries finds family and a sense of purpose. "

" Aside from the original Dick Francis that introduced me to the author, tihs is my favorite of his books. The photography tricks are really interesting - very fun to read. "
