Flynn is fast becoming one of my favorite writers. I have a few issues with DP, like the disbursement of information in a contrived/convenient manner, but her characters are so damn compelling that even though I can hear the machinations of writing i...more

KoC does a great job of treading the line between merely providing backstory for the characters of Savages and giving the created world a new context while still furthering the message of the first book. There should be more Lado, though. There shoul...more

So damn good it made me break my resolve to not give five-stars unless they are absolutely exceptional and will go on an all-time list. As I closed the book, the first thing I thought was 'I really need to go write something awesome.' I love books wh...more

This is interesting. I was about to qualify my thoughts with 'This is my first Scudder book, so maybe I'm missing something,' but after reading the reviews below, I'm not sure that's the case. At any rate, I've been meaning to read Block for a while...more

Not my favorite in the series, but it was nice to get back into their world for a while. Just means I need to pick up Gone Baby Gone soon.
