The Burglar in the Closet Audiobook

" Dated, but enjoyable. Like I said, it's like a Monk marathon. Lighthearted murder. With character. "

" It's a formulaic mystery novel, but a very entertaining one. Block has a way with the dark humor. "

" An enjoyable read - especially being from the main character's viewpoint "

" I mildly fun and funny book and great for a plane ride where you do not need to pay too much attention to the plot. "

" Some clever plotting, likeable characters and some interesting attention to detail, but overall this doesn't charm me enough to want to read any more of Block's books. Block is a competent writer and it is an easy read, but nothing really makes the characters or dialogue feel worth the effort. I may give him another chance as I hear another series he wrote has more depth. "

" Bernie is in the wrong place again! "

" Who doesn't love a little Bernie Rhodenbarr? I know I can read & re-read these books...never a dull moment for our friendly burgler. "

" Imagine that - the lovable main character, Bernie, is a criminal! This is the first Lawrence Block book I've read; how cleverly he makes us love a burglar! A funny, light mystery that even a non-mystery-reader such as myself enjoyed. "

" Fun and took about 5 hours to read. Ok actually this one was way better than the first one, but it's not like I'm some mystery guru or anything. "

" They made a pretty bad movie (Burglar, with Whoopie Goldberg) that was only slightly related to this book. The book itself is great, and will make anyone who likes mysteries want to read the other Bernie Rhodenbarr books. "

" all his Bernie Rhodenbarr, the burglar mysteries "

" Block's characters are fascinating and eccentric. There is a sameness to all his books as there is with many mystery writers who return over and over to familiar comfortable themes. They are still a pleasure to read. "

" Listened to this on audio and was amused. Can't decide if I want to do more of them. Perhaps I will. A thief as a detective has a definite advantage in solving crimes. He just breaks in and looks for clues. "

" Book was ok. Didn't especially care for the protagonist. "

" 1978 - Bernie Rhodenbarr #2. "

" Yet another series that I have completely read, waiting eagerly for each new addition. Luckily Lawrence Block is as prolific a writer as I am an avid reader fo his books. He is an american treasure--read him. "

" Fun author to read - also has darker stuff... I've read them all and enjoyed them "

" Hilarious, tongue-in-cheek. Good break from my usual genre. Gotta intersperse my reads with more from Block! "

" Block is a master at writing an entertaining read, regardless of which recurring character he's writing about. "

" I read this so long ago and started writing a script from it. Apparently I wasn't the only writer who thought it would make a great movie. It was the basis for the movie Burglar starring Whoopie Goldberg. "

" Love these mysteries! Another good one! "

" Any Lawrence Block book in the Bernie the Burglar series is great fun. It almost makes you want to be a cat burglar. "

" Book was ok. Didn't especially care for the protagonist. "

" that was an adventurous reading .....What I like the most about crime novels is this crazy, fast drive they put you in. This book was no exception.I read this one, borrowed from a friend, in Cambridge UK "

" Very Good; Continuing character: Bernie Rhodenbarr; burglar makes deal to steal dentist's ex-wife's jewels then must prove he didn't kill her. "

" I love Bernie what can I say. A thief with a heart of gold and he sells used books! "

" They made a pretty bad movie (Burglar, with Whoopie Goldberg) that was only slightly related to this book. The book itself is great, and will make anyone who likes mysteries want to read the other Bernie Rhodenbarr books. "
