Dixie City Jam (Abridged) Audiobook

" James Lee Burke is the most descriptive author I've ever read and Will Patton is extraordinary...Dave and Clete are two of the most amazing character combinations ever!! "

" Burke has just beautiful language in his books. "

" Another great read in this series. "

" A Nazi submarine sunk of the coast of Louisianna - I think I vaguely remember this one! "

" I like Burke's style of writing a lot. "

" First intro to Burke. I have loved all his books. "

" This one was about a Neo-Nazi and how he tortured Dave when he wanted information. Cletus was a big part of this one too as well as some of the Mob again. It was really violent in parts but very well written. "

" James Lee Burke is one of best writers of our times. He is one of the few writers whose books I will purchase in hard cover because I can't wait for the paperback version to come out. "

" I've read most of Burke's books and would give them all either four or five stars. I remember this one as being one I really liked. "

" Another great Dave Robicheaux novel. More violent that usual in spots, but still recommended. "

" Dave Robison has to unravel a mystery involving a sunken Nazi submarine, neo-Naziis, and a serial killer in New Orleans. Rough language. "

" He's my favorite author. Read a Burke book and your in a dark theater by yourself surrounded and engulfed by his images. I've read them all but can only do so once every 3-4 months because in the end they are their message about the human condition is not hopeful. "

" No one is better at describing people than J.L. Burke. This book was just outstanding "

" First of many of Burke's books that I read. "

" Robicheaux in top form. The story is a bit convoluted, but the tension is high throughout and the dialogue a pure delight. "

" Another book for which there was a 10 point rating system on GR. The book does not rate a "5" but it's better then a "4." 4.6 at least. "

" Loved the language, with the obvious Cajun flavor. Full poetic descriptions of everything ... made me repeat them in my head after hearing. Story was a little flimsy. "

" I think the story was a little hard to follow at some points. Burke usually writes these better. "

" One of my all time favorites... I can smell the bouganvillea. "

" Having jumped into the middle of a series, didn't follow some of the character background and got lost in some of the phrases used.... "

" I love James Lee Burke. "

" Dixie City Jam by James Lee Burke (1995) "

" Enjoy this series and listened to most while travelig to Mexico "

" The openning scene of him scuba diving on a Nazi submarine had me hook. A great book. "

" I've read most of Burke's books and would give them all either four or five stars. I remember this one as being one I really liked. "

" Number 7 in the series-- and I am hooked-- this one is one of my favorites-- I am buying them all and will read them in sequence-- "

" While some of James Lee Burke's story lines about gangsters and mobsters are not always my favorite, I still love his writing.. He makes you feel, smell,hear and see what is going on in his wonderful descriptive writing. This book is more of a 3+ "

" Not his best - too bloody for one thing - but he writes so evocatively about life in Louisiana, that he's always worth a look. "

" Loved the language, with the obvious Cajun flavor. Full poetic descriptions of everything ... made me repeat them in my head after hearing. Story was a little flimsy. "

" Another great Dave Robicheaux caper. I have been listening to all of these novels on audio .... it's like taking a trip to New Orleans ... you can smell the air and taste the oysters as you read Burke's words. I'm working my way through all 18 novels ... "

" I was disappointed in this book. There was 3 different stories going at the same time & it just seemed he rambled on & on... NOt one of his best... "

" Another great read in this series. "

" No one is better at describing people than J.L. Burke. This book was just outstanding "

" First of many of Burke's books that I read. "

" This was one of those tough guy cop books. I get into these sometimes, but this was not one of the better ones. "
