Maicon Slavieiro maiconslavieiro — A personal favourite - I love Anne Fine's children's books. Funny set pieces about hitting the teenzone - immensely sympathetic to all concerned. It doesn't stand with great works of literature as a 5 star book but oh it said so much to me at the time.

Maria Camila mariaca_orb8ee — Another Spenser novel? Did I really need to read another murder mystery? Actually, the beautiful part of the early Spenser novels is the fact that many of the mysteries have nothing to do with murder. To be sure, there are occasionally murders (or, at least, deaths) involved in the plots, but these aren’t the usual locked-door or overlapping alibi murder mysteries. Rather, one gets the sense that Robert Parker understands the variety of clients and situations with which a private investigator might be confronted. The clients are rarely completely honest with Parker’s protagonist and Spenser’s own actions vacillate dramatically from pure pragmatism to enigmatic altruism. Promised Land is just such a convoluted plot initiated with a simple missing-person scenario. Yet, by the time the narrative tapestry is unraveled, we have been treated to a bank robbery with a vague similarity to Patty Hearst’s real-life experience, a conspiracy to purchase illegal weapons, the murky world of loan-sharking, and poetic justice mingled with vigilante justice. Neither of the detective’s clients are commendable or even street-wise. They are victims who bring the consequences they face onto themselves. Yet, I found myself intrigued by Spenser’s eccentric moral compass and delighted by the badinage and clever one-upmanship he continues to attempt as he deals with street scum and ne’er-do-wells. Reading these early novels in the series makes me even more determined to re-read some of the later novels in the series. If, like me, you often enjoy reading for escape, a chance to visit scenes and situations that you’d never be likely to encounter in your day-to-day life, these novels are great fun. They lack the psychological horror of Dick Francis or the procedural detail of P.D. James, but they are well worth reading, nonetheless. Naturally, it is problematic to read later novels in a series and go back to the beginnings. Yet, there is a certain satisfaction to reading about Susan Silverman and learning how that unusual relationship evolved. Again, the handling of personal issues seems both authentic and commendable. There is a certain attraction/repulsion that goes on in certain areas of their relationship and I like the way it always hangs there, only finding temporary resolution.

María M _dagio_hroma — this is a chillingly creepy novel. Set in a old time with his parents dead, an orphan boy is sent to live with a family he hardly knows. but as he lives there, there are very starnge things that happen. things that do more than just go bump in the night. spine tingling story is writtten very fluently. recommended to everybody!
