I, The Jury

By: Mickey Spillane

Narrated by: Mike Dennis

Here's Mickey Spillane and Mike Hammer in their roughest and readiest—a double-strength shot of sex, violence, and action that is vintage Spillane all the way. It's a tough-guy mystery to please even the most bloodthirsty of fans!

I, the jury

Any additional comments?

This audiobook was so dated that it wasn't really even very good looking at it in the context of the time that it was written.

Pretty good story. Audio version requires complete attentiveness from me. Which is not a bad thing per se.

The story can move fast. In 1 sentence, the character can move from point A to point B. If you don’t catch it, you can find yourself wondering where all these elements from this new environment came from. I had to hit the 10 second back button a few times because I missed an important detail that was snuggled within a set of mundane details. I heard that MIckey wrote this in 9 or so days. I was only familiar with the name Mike Hammer and Mickey’s small role on an episode of Columbo. I will listen to the next entry in the series.

Great story

Excellent crime thriller. The performance was a class all the way. And easy, quick and entertaining read.

Awesome Book, Great Writer, Amazing Narrator!!

Would you listen to I, the Jury again? Why?

Yes, great story and read in a convincing style that brought the 1950's tale alive.

What was one of the most memorable moments of I, the Jury?

Hammer reenacting the scene of his friend's death in his mind as he put the pieces together to solve the crime.

What about Mike Dennis’s performance did you like?

I think he hit Mike Hammer's voice on the head, nailed it as they say.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

If you're going to commit murder, don't pick one of Mike Hammer's friends, you'll end dead real fast.

Any additional comments?

Mike Dennis did an awesome job, as good or better than Stacy Keach. Mike is a natural fit for parts like this.

Dennis nails Hammer.

Would you listen to I, the Jury again? Why?

Mike Dennis nails Mike Hammer. He bangs out the perfect cadence.

Have you listened to any of Mike Dennis’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

One of the best.
