The Burglar Who Thought He Was Bogart Audiobook

" The dialogue in this book is fantastic. "

" I know it's fluff - but it's very entertaining fluff. "

" listened to the audio version read by Adams Morgan. Bernie is reliable entertainment. "

" Bernie is up to his usual high jinx though this time he gets ensnared by a beautiful woman who, like Bernie, loves Bogart films. The story has some eccentric characters that all seem interested in the doings of the (fictional) kingdom of Anatruria (think Eastern European place). The story is fun with plenty of the usual humor. Not Bernie's strongest outing but not his weakest. "

" Was this recommended in Book Lust? I must have read something good about it, because this is not my kind of book. It was okay. "

" I know that the Bernie Rhodenbarr Mysteries are not very deep or intricate, but I really enjoy them. More of a cozy mystery. The characters are fun; the situations are intersting; and he is a skillful yet bumbling type of burglar. Lots of fun to read. "

" these go so quickly I just had to start another. "

" Not my favorite of the series. I remember liking the Bogart parts, though. But the main plot didn't thrill me, I remember, too. "

" Some obvious ties to classic Bogart movies, were the best part. 3.5 "

" The banter between Bernie and Carolyn was more entertaining than the plot itself. One of the poorest Burglar books, I think. "

" Very funny, as long as I was willing to disregard the very dubious attitudes of the characters. Each of the characters was either complicit in or the perpetrator of some kind of crime. Of course, what was I expecting from a book whose protagonist is a burglar at night, bookseller by day? "

" Good, not as fun as some of my favorite Agatha Christie novels "

" 1995 - Bernie Rhodenbarr #7. "

" Nancy 5 stars; Ron - no read Easy reading "

" Nancy 5 stars; Ron - no read Easy reading "

" Bernie goes to the Bogart film festival and gets involved with the affairs of Anatruria, and currently non-existent country. Similar to the previous books, some laughs, some mystery and some fun. "

" This book is more about the characters, settings and old Humphrey Bogart movies than about the murders. Of course, we have the usual Bernie trapped in the closet after being hired to retrieve a portfolio from a secure building. Great summer read. "

" Fun to read. Entertaining mystery that dies not take itself to seriously. "

" nice sense of humor, and not dumbed down "

" Any Block book with Bernie Rhodenbarr is good with me. A burglar who owns an antiquarian book store. He steals for fun, and sells books only when he feels like it. Film noir for bibliophiles. Love Bernie, love his friend and neighbor Carolyn. "

" Good; Continuing character: Bernie Rhodenbarr; the burglar solves a double murder related to a defunct country, between films at a Bogart festival. "

" His Burglar books are a great read. A a fun witty book. His burglar books are not mind-blowing, but when you want a easy read for the fun of reading and a fan of witty detectives pick up one of these. "

" Not his best, but they're always entertaining. "

" Fun and surprisingly fast paced... given the significant chunk in the first half where nothing really happened. It still worked! "

" I liked it! First Lawrence Block novel I've read, having been exposed to some of his short stories. NYC felt like the old friend it was as a backdrop - looking forward to more in this series "

" Okay it is funny dialogue but it seemed to take forever to get through it. Perhaps because too many other things going on. "

" Bernie does it again, and I am about through with the series and that's probably a good thing. "

" One of the better books in the series - particularly as The Maltese Falcon is one of my favorite books and movies. "

" It is hard to resist a novel with a bookseller as the protagonist. Fun genre fiction. "
