Robert Parker we miss your books!

I had read this book series years ago and was glad l had kept it in my library! Lt was great all over again!

Almost great

Up to the usual Parker standards, if you, like I, enjoy his excellent writing. Only hitch is the reader, who is mediocre by my reckoning, though his adolescent-sounding voice is almost acceptable for most of the story. given that this is a telling by a young version of Spenser.

Bear

I found this Robert b Parker book very well done and found the narration excellent. This is a very engaging story with a lot of human qualities to it.

A good novella

I enjoyed learning about Spenser's background. The history of Pearl was cute . I do think that the description of Spencer's love life hid some former escapades.

Childish dialogue of someone living in dreamland.

Absolutely the worst book I’ve ever heard! So predictable like previous books that I can skip or fast forward. Is would need to fast forward the entire book in this case.

Boring.

Written with way too many "he said" "she said" and so so slow. I just wanted to fast forward through the immature dialogue.
