School Days Audiobook

" Always enjoy Parker. Always will. "

" This was my first Robert Parker book and I really enjoyed it. It's a modern-day mystery with believable characters, an interesting plot, and it's not predictable. "

" Typical Parker Spenser novel, with strengths - witty dialogue throughout - and weaknesses - Spenser's constant macho attitude - every woman wants me, but I'm saving myself for Susan Silverman. "

" Ok -but why do they always make the psychologists such jerks. Also, he did not do his homework and I think anyone that knows a little bit about how schools work and what mental retardation is will see that - still, I had to find out what happened. "

" I like Robert Parker a lot. His books are extremely easy to read. They are more or less detective books. "

" It ended a bit to abruptly for me, but it was refreshing to not have a completely closed ending and the style of writing in this book was different from other Robert B. Parker books I have read, so that to was new and somewhat exciting. "

" Dialogue and action heavy,this was a quick read. Bit of a crush on Spenser. "

" Not one of the best of the Spenser books "

" Great story with many facets and moved along well. "

" This is a very powerful story of two misunderstood teenage boys at a high school. It is very emotional. Lots of twists and turns. Amazingly written by Robert Parker. "

" I like my Spenser novels to have lots of Susan and lots of Hawk. It had neither, but was a good story so worth the read. "

When the evidence overwhelmingly points to his guilt, Spencer stays on the case to find out why he did it. "

" A more focused effort by Parker. In this Spenser edition, Spenser digs after the hows and whys of two teens who shoot up a school. Spenser's quips are humorous as usual. "

" another good Spenser story "

" This is one of Mr. Parker's best Spenser stories. It was tight! "

" This book is about a high school shooting. It is a fun read and Spencer and his dog Pearl keep the action rolling. "

" Dialogue and action heavy,this was a quick read. Bit of a crush on Spenser. "

" Love Robert B. Parker, but this book wasn't my favorite. No Hawk, strange storyline, and it seemed to wrap up too quickly and neatly. "

" Another fun Spencer book. Easy reading, but fun to try to figure out who did it and why. "

" I liked this story because I like to know the back story on why things happen. Because things usually happen for a reason and not just randomly. "

" An enjoyable read over all, but not a very good book. It was entertaining over all and if you like Parker's style and Spencer's personality, then you will like this book. "

" Don't expect anything earth shattering here. Unfortunately, these novels were so rapid fire that they became formulaic. Parker is just a fun quick read. Spenser amuses me with his dry one-liners. "

" This book is about a high school shooting. It is a fun read and Spencer and his dog Pearl keep the action rolling. "

" A great book! Lately, I've noticed that I'm brain dead at the end of the day but the past two nights, I could not put this book down. I sat in bed and read for an hour both times, just so I could finish. "

" 2 1/2 starsI listened to this book, as recommended by another librarian. It was fine. Good for Readers' Advisory purposes, entertaining, but not something I would select on my own. Just another suspense/mystery with a cocky P.I. as narrator. Entertaining enough, but that's about it. "
