I remember being very excited when I first discovered Parker...by then he was about five books into the series and I immediately went back and read them all. They are easy and quick reads, lots of fun.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-82739770594097862822007-08-22T04:21:00.000-05:002007-08-22T04:21:00.000-05:00I agree with Denise Brown.I agree with Denise Brown.John Mutfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08730205221787092204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-84568627924852093932007-08-21T21:23:00.000-05:002007-08-21T21:23:00.000-05:00Thanks, Sam.

But I do think that he earlier books are the best in the series. I grew bored with Parker a few years ago because he seems to have lost the energy to keep Spenser alive and fresh. It's been a while since I've read one of his books but I've heard from others that he never has seem to Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-75894853907554816262007-08-21T15:12:00.000-05:002007-08-21T15:12:00.000-05:00Yay for B&N!

Is that a series that would be best to start from the beginning? I am really not interested in reading the 34 books! I was thinking about starting in the 90's. What's your take on that idea?Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00832231139076878401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-14697649842088014172007-08-21T15:07:00.000-05:002007-08-21T15:07:00.000-05:00I'd prefer to see them do that, too, Wendy, but at...I'd prefer to see them do that, too, Wendy, but at least they aren't going the Border's route and placing it on the shelves.<BR/><BR/>Frankly, I hope this publisher loses a fortune on this book.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-3344121623356626612007-08-21T14:42:00.000-05:002007-08-21T14:42:00.000-05:00I'm glad they won't stock it in their stores...but...I'm glad they won't stock it in their stores...but I'd be even happier if they'd refuse to carry it on line as well.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14332796775305098552noreply@blogger.com
