Resumen del Editor

Retired to the English countryside, an 89-year-old man, rumored to be a once-famous detective, is more concerned with his beekeeping than with his fellow man. Into his life wanders Linus Steinman, nine years old and mute, who has escaped from Nazi Germany with his sole companion: an African gray parrot.

What is the meaning of the mysterious strings of German numbers the bird spews out-a top-secret SS code? The keys to a series of Swiss bank accounts? Or do they hold a significance both more prosaic and far more sinister?

Though the solution may be beyond even the reach of the once-famous sleuth, the true story of the boy and his parrot is subtly revealed in a wrenching resolution.

Winner of the 2005 National Jewish Book Award. A San Francisco Chronicle Best Book of 2004.

Featured Article: The Sherlock Holmes Universe, Explained


The world’s most famous detective almost didn’t survive the 19th century! In our shared joy of finding a new corner of the Sherlock Holmes universe, Holmes fandom appeared inextricable from the universe it helped to build. Fans encouraged keeping the Holmes narrative alive in the 19th century; fan devotion fueled the Sherlock Holmes universe of book, film, TV, streaming, audio, and more. In the 21st century, the game has never been more afoot!

So clever and well written.

Just fabulous. It’s also fairly short, though perfectly paced, so I keep listening to it over and over. The narrator is great, and .I really can’t imagine someone not liking this story. As another reviewer wrote, “Just listen to it and thank me later.” I’m glad I took his advice, and I do sincerely
thank him!

something about the editing is peculiar

Michael York is beyond reproach.

The voice of the author would change from charming and descriptive to some verbose boor in the space of a heartbeat. The two styles are noticably different. This glaring blunder overshadowed the story for me.

I hope the author engages a different editor in subsequent works; this one wasn't a good fit.

Stunning

This is an example of writing and narration working so beautifully together. Chabon and York together forever please :)

Don’t give up until you’ve heard it all

This did not start out to be a five-star review. In fact I had a hard time getting into it.at all. I even thought about giving up on it. But since it is a small book, I persevered. Now I’m very glad I did because the ending made it all worth it. The end came rather suddenly and it took me up short. I had to ask, “What just happened?” But when I realized what had happened, it took my breath away, and I literally cried. That it is based on a true story just makes it all the better.

This is a story that I probably will never forget. I think about it all the time, and probably will for a long time. My “want to read again someday” list is very short, but this book will go on that list for sure.

A Good Listen

First off Michael Chabon is a fine writer. This book is a little different than his usual prose, but it is still a good read/ listen. Recommended if you want to read/listen to another fine offering by this author. Michael York does a solid job of narrating.

British mystery lark by a fine fine writer.

Kind of a stylized experiment by Chabon. Fantastic language and listening to Michael York read is always a joy. Not one of Chabon's most stirring or emotive but you can't go wrong in the hands of a master.

Simply lovely.

Lyrical, poignant, historical. A fitting entry--and perhaps a finale--to a beloved canon. Narrated with care and sensitivity.
