Another terrific Dortmunder novel, well read
- By Kelly Howard on 08-12-12
"I read this for a detective fiction class that I took in college. It was the first time that I had ever read Westlake, and I just loved the comic crime caper aspect of the book, so much so that I devoured the rest of his Dortmunder series. Ever since then, Westlake—and his alter ego Richard Stark—has been one of my favorite authors." --Jennifer Estep

mispronounciations make the book unlistenable
- By Becca on 12-11-09
"This is one of the first fantasy books that I remember reading, and it helped spark my interest in the fantasy genre. Reading this and other fantasy books made me start thinking about writing my own books someday, building different magical worlds, and telling the stories that I wanted to tell." --Jennifer Estep
