The Score Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I think I've hit my limit of Parker books for now. The formula was a bit too predictable, although this was his most ambitious job yet. Unfortunately, I guessed most of the high points pretty much from the beginning. Still, the details were fun to follow & Parker is a wonderful anti-hero. While I have #6, I'm missing the odd numbers after that through #12. I'll see if I can't get them for another Parker marathon at another time. "

" The setup was interesting, the heist planning was dull, but the actual heist was very entertaining. Fun little read. "

" One of the more "minor" Parker novel, yet even here you can help but think of all the movies based ont this... "

" Rubbish. I want those 90 minutes back. "

" It's nice to see Parker work with a big group for a change. Some people might say that this one ties itself up a little TOO nicely, but I say fuck 'em. Westlake always kept it real and, when writing as Stark, could leave readers picking grit out of their teeth with a 2.5 page chapter if he wanted... which he seemingly did... frequently. "

" Short, straight to the point. Lays out the heist, gives some background on the players. It felt like I was reading the shortened version of a movie like Ocean's 11. "

" This was the first Parker book I have read and I loved it. I cannot wait to read more. "

" This was okay for me. The vast number of characters made for a bit of a chaotic story. Parker is always entertaining and good for a few, "I can't believe he just said that!", but I wanted more of him! "

" I don't know why this isn't a movie. It's that good. "

" This was free off Nook so to be honest, I wasn't expecting much. I really enjoyed it though. Quick, easy, light read for those who like "on the edge of your seat" stories. "

" The forward on this book was a royal pain in the butt to wade thru but the story was good and yet what a way to waste a life! I will try a couple more of these! "

" Another exceptional Parker novel "

" Bank thief "

" Wow. Quite the explosive heist. "

" So many bad guys in the biggest heist yet. Very good use of major characters interacting with minor characters but still making everything work and never boring. Richard Stark is brilliant. "

" A quick and fun heist novel. It flowed along nicely, with plenty of interesting characters. Short and straightforward, but worth hanging around until the end. "

" After a disappointing Mourner, Parker is back in full force for the fifth installment as our very likeable and very deadly anti hero. Once again this book made me upset that I have not read this series sooner. "

" Richard Stark is Donald Westlake with less humor and more hard edge. "

" Hard boiled fiction of the highest order. This is the gold standard in heist novels. "

" Parker comes out of vacation to take on this Air Force payroll heist with some amateurs who surprise him. "

" There is a reason the author's pen name is Stark. Good books, but no heros, ever. "
