Echoing other reviewers' sentiments, this was chock-full of good ideas, but the execution, especially at the beginning, was spotty. If it had either stayed all vignettes or started as a novel with a through-line, it would have been multiple times bet ...more

Oh, man. This one, I liked a lot more than the one before. The mystery is a mystery until it isn't, and then it's reindeer games until somebody dies. Against all odds and indications, Parker experiences some personal growth. I had forgotten about tha ...more

I enjoyed this book on re-read, but not enough to up my star rating from the first time around. I tell you what, though, I really do enjoy the structure of these books. Parker, Parker, bad guy who bad guy'd Parker and thought he'd gotten away with it ...more

This was not for me. I've heard of this book as the definitive post-apocalyptic story, but it's more like a documentary following the main character, or a travelogue. I know it sounds crazy to say "nothing of note happens" when talking about a book ...more

Not a bad book, but not something I would read again, I think. I went into it cold, not knowing anything except it was about an alternate history, and even that's only because of the ads I'd seen for the television adaptation. I enjoyed the premise a ...more
