Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for Sea Change

“A fast-paced fascinating mystery.”—The Providence Journal

“The complicated, all-too-human Jesse Stone [is] every bit as compelling, charismatic and resolute as [the] better-known, valiant Spenser.”—The Boston Herald

“Crackles with wisecracks.”—Forbes

“Parker is dead-on here...the story swirls from whodunit into an absorbing whydunit.”—Booklist

“Strong enough to rank near [Parker’s] best.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Worthy of the late John D. MacDonald.”—St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Great book

As with all of Robert Parker's books, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Parker has a mastery for writing convincing dialogue. I didn't have any problem with his use of "he said" or "she said" as other listeners have.

I love Parker's writing; he doesn't pad his books with needless prose, his character development is excellent, and his plots are great. Stone's a well-developed, tragic guy with lots of problems. Reminds me of some people I know.

Good book

Liked it a lot better than the tv movie this is based on. Totally different story

Thoughtful, well laid out story.

I thought they picked the wrong person to narrate the characters. By this time the main character, Jesse Stone, is well established, and he's not a tenor. I also didn't think there was enough definition between characters. At times I'd have to review the scene to figure out who was speaking.

As always when reading a Robert B. Parker story, the plot line, and characters are well developed. He knows how to keep a story interesting.

I recommend this book, despite my disappointment with the narrator.

Barely adequate

I read other reviews and was prepared for the low quality of this audio book. I only bought it to keep going in the series and because the price was low.

Robert B. Parker' writing is good, on par with his other books. This narrator just isn't good. it sounds like he is an actor who is used to reading from a script because he voices the characters pretty well but his rhythm and flow are not like reading.

What other reviewers said about all the "he said" problems are true, though that issue did get better as the book went on. When you read text for yourself, you don't really notice "he said." It just tells the story in your mind. This reader practically made separate sentences out of those words, especially at first, instead of just speaking them into the prose.

Sea Change

Dr Robert Parker hits this novel out of the park again! I truly enjoy these Jesse Stone novels, and I know you will when you listen to this one. The movie is actually quite good with Tom Selleck in it.
