Detective Spenser
Rating:
5 / 5
Robert Parker has done a great job of depicting Spenser's tough but funny personality, a character who made brilliant decisions for his actions taken in the book. The book is about a divorce between two parents, and a fight for their 15 year old son. The father hires thugs to kidnap his son, while the mother responds by hiring detective Spenser to get him back. Bringing the son back to the mother, Spenser finds that neither mother nor father care about being with their son Paul. Spenser then decides to take Paul under his own arms and starts showing him how to become a man and survive against his opponents, while trying to find a way so Paul's parents won't try to take him back. I think this book was a very good read, and I recommand it to any reader who likes any kind of suspense, drama, or action, because this book has all.
One of the best so far . . .
Rating:
5 / 5
Outstanding! This is by far one of the best of this series! The relationship development of both Spenser and the boy he wants to rescue from neglect is not only moving, but strikes a chord of realism. This is a great story, and I would recommend it to any one!!
TOO SHORT, TOO SHORT!
Rating:
5 / 5
Great but too short. Should of been deeper. Covers a subject matter that hit home for me.
Parental neglect, of the type where the parents, who's rotten relationship is so all consuming that you, the only child, become just another unwanted burden they can't or don't want to deal with so they cope with you by disregarding your very existence. Add to that the fact that the parents themselves have no friends and discourage you from bringing any home. Add to that the child is shy and not too bright to begin with and you end up with a 15 yr old who's still 8 yrs old.....a looser, a total blank slate. I'd like to see Parker redo this one. Spenser came along and saved the kid.
