The Boxer and the Spy Audiobook

" Second YA from the author of Spencer. Better than the first. Very readable for both young and old. If your a Parker fan, with kids these would be a fine choice to start them with. "

" I found out that Robert Parker had written three (I believe) YA novels. It was fun to read. "

" An engaging story about a young man trying to learn to do the right thing. I'd pretty much read Parker's grocery list, so I may be biased, but I did enjoy this book a lot! "

" could have been better, but overall it was good "

" Typical Parker, in other words: enjoyable and a pleasure to read. "

" This is a great book that shows how good wins over evil. Two teenagers question the suicide of a classmate. That leads to more deceit among the teachers at their school. By working together with the help of other classmates, they expose their teachers. "

" Good but maybe should have been labeled for young adults. "

" Quick read, solid moral story telling. "

" decent book! definitely young adult fiction "

" This is the first YA book I've read in years; quick, great fun reading. Easily as good as his Spenser books, although I think he might have over simplified the plot a bit. Robert B. Parker's passing certainly a loss. "

" Teen mystery: who done it and why? "

" Quick mystery read that boys in grades 7th-10th who are interested in boxing will enjoy. I personally skimmed the boxing stuff but still found the mystery element of the book engaging. "

" This book is a wonderful read for young adults. It cleverly crosses gender roles, and gives constant reader a glimpse into the emotional beginnings of a young love. Good Story. "

" This book was supposed to be for teenagers, but the only difference from his adult books is that it was about teenagers. It was just as good as any other book he has written and was just as hard to put down. I ate dinner an hour late because I couldn't put it down until I finished it. "

" This was an ok book.I read it in a few hours.It's kind of away from the norm of his other books. "

" Murder mystery for teens. Not my typical book has a lot of boxing. Terry learns to stand up for himself and for what he believes. When he tries to figure out what happened to a local school boy who died. The news said the cause was an overdose of steroids. Terry believes there is more to the story. "

" An enjoyable book, this one features freshmen students who set out to prove their friend did not commit sucide. In doing so they uncover corruption at a very high level. Good overcomes evil again!!! "

" Great boy read on audio. (a death, boxing, romance, friendship, mystery) "

" it was a good book. "

" This book was supposed to be for teenagers, but the only difference from his adult books is that it was about teenagers. It was just as good as any other book he has written and was just as hard to put down. I ate dinner an hour late because I couldn't put it down until I finished it. "

" First Parker that has not been a Spencer or Stone book. <br/>Boy did I like this one. The teenage heroes were great, well-described and written. I highly recommend this book "

" I liked this one but not as much as Edenville Owls. "

" Readable entry in the list of Parker's YA titles. "

" I read several Robert Parker books written for teens after his death earlier this year. This was the best - kind of a bumbling teenager solving a mystery by poking around, just like Spenser (but in a less dangerous way!). "

" I like the boxing, the setting in Massachusetts, and the characters. Terry and Abby make quite a team as detectives, targets of bullies, and a couple. "
