The Killing of the Tinkers Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Another excellent well paced story by Bruen... seriously don't know why i let such long lengths of time go by between reading his books. Read the whole book in a single sitting... with a slight break to eat dinner though will admit did read with the book in one hand and the fork in the other. "

" Didn't like the character. Thought the story line was a tad indulgent. But The Killing of the Tinkers is written so darn well that its precision amazed me.It's a great work of fiction. "

" so fuckin poetic. a pathetic drunk asshole stumbles his way through solving crimes, gets his life ruined a bunch, and spews some really great quotes. "

" Seis, quiero darle seis o siete u ocho estrellas, impresionante libro, brutales ultimas paginas, imprescindible autor. IM-PRES-CIN-DI-BLE. "

" Ken Bruen's writing is very dark, but it's honest and I do not skip a word. "

" Excellent sequel to The Guards. In fact, I liked this one more than the first. "

" Sharp funny brutal crime fiction. One aspect of Bruen's writing that I very much enjoy is that he includes references to other crime writers as part of his storyline. He has obviously been influenced by some great writers, and is eager to make sure we know about them. Great stuff! "

" You will either love or hate this book. No one writes with more powerful use of language than Ken Bruen. "

" If you haven't read Ken Bruen, you have a treat in store. Great noir writer from Ireland. His Jack Taylor character is wonderful, a depressed alcoholic ex-cop to whom the downtrodden come to find lost loved ones. Great antihero. "

" solid one, not as amazing as The Guards, but this one helped me find the book I'm currently reading, David Gates' Jernigan. "Tinkers" has a good ending, with Taylor realizing he got the wrong man killed. I've got to read the next JAck Taylor... "

" Ken Bruen was the writer for me last year. Noir fiction at its best. Short, concise clipped sentences. No words wasted. A gritty tale of drugs, crime, swans and tinkers. A fine short novel. "

" Another bucket of shite from the same latrine. Here's a question for mystery lovers, after Jack Taylor who is the most beat up and beat down PI in literature? "

" Really enjoying Bruen's work. Jack Taylor, with all his faults,addictions and dry humour, is a character I want to read more of - I'm hooked! "

" Does "noir" really have to mean "atmosphere way over plot"? Not sure. At least the typos are seriously annoying, but there is more. This fiction-Galway is too close to the original in geography and far, far too far off in crime statistics. "

" The Jack Taylor series continues...bleak, spare, rich in detail and filled with life. I'll be reading them all. Slainte! "

" Outstanding. Bruen is perhaps the best crime writer around now. "

" I really enjoy Ken Bruen. His character, Jack Taylor, is a blend of Spenser and Dave Robicheaux. The first two books take place in Galway, Ireland. Jack is very dark. Bruen is a rock n' roll mystery writer. Great dialogue. I just find myself wanting Jack to get better. "

" This guy doesn't need any enemies; he's quickly killing himself and wallowing in it. That said, easy read, plenty of action, and plenty of literary and musical allusions. Has this guy been talking to Murakami? "

" Didn't like the character. Thought the story line was a tad indulgent. But The Killing of the Tinkers is written so darn well that its precision amazed me.It's a great work of fiction. "

" Jack Taylor staggers drunkenly through another case, trying so hard to do the right thing... Compulsive single session reading. Bruen's writting is irresistable. "

" Ken Bruen's writing is very dark, but it's honest and I do not skip a word. "

" You will either love or hate this book. No one writes with more powerful use of language than Ken Bruen. "
