Miasma: Pollution and Purification in Early Greek Religion

2 reviews
Robert B. Parker

Oxford Univ Pr (Txt), 1983

Miasma -- Not for the Faint of Heart
"Miasma" (or me-ahz-MAH' as the ancients would say it, we think) is a subject and a book that will be of most interest to scholars of ancient Greek culture, religion and language, as well as to students of comparative languages and literatures. It is a dense but well-written text by Parker, an important and recognized scholar. Organized conceptually, the book begins with an introduction to ...

Lord John Triumph
This book is nothing short of amazing. It is clearly an example of what this publisher has become known for - quality, originality and collectibility. This collection of essays, all with authentic signatures of the authors, coupled with dozens of genuine autographs of Hollywood legends, is a work of art. A film fan's dream.

Three early novels from the glory years of Spenser for Hire
This collection brings together the fifth, sixth, and seventh Spenser for Hire novels by Robert B. Parker, representing the early glory days when our hero was trying to figure out how to make things work with Susan Silverman and Hawk was always around to help do the good deeds. The key thing is that Parker refuses to fit into a restrictive formula at this point and that his books are perfectly ...

The BEST Mystery I have read
I hope that Larry Shriner publishes more! His book grabbed my attention on the first page and I couldn't stop turning the pages! I love his work.

Brotherly Love
In this charming book for children, two brothers grow up learning to care for one another. This relationship carries over into adulthood, when, faced with a severe famine, they still want to share their bounty with the other. It is a wonderful story for children, especially for brothers.

New York: Delacorte Press, 1994, 1994

An American Classic
With the vigor of a Spenser novel, this is one of Parker's best, a literary work, and a long read. It is a penetrating look at the dark side of the american urban scene. While a bit slow at first, your patience is well worthwhile. This book covers three generations, and I think it is comparable to Evelyn Waugh's BRIDESHEAD REVISITED. Thank you Robert Parker.

Great Book
I am 13 1/2 and read this - the latest by Ridley Pearson. He is probably my favorite author. His books are not for little kids and not for adults, although my mom enjoys reading all of his, even my books. I think this is a super book for all kids, ages 10+ to read! It's full of adventure, fun and mystery! It is a quick read - I read it in 2-3 days going to/from school and soccer. It's hard ...

The Easiest Thing In the World: The Unpublished Fiction of George V. Higgins

Carroll & Graf, 2004

Vintage George Higgins Writing in Small Bites
If you have been a fan of George Higgins's writing, you probably know that he had an unerring ability to tell a story, capture the state of mind of the teller, and provide an unexpected reward at the end of the story by tying seemingly disconnected story skeins together. In The Easiest Thing in the World, those qualities are present in all of their glory. None of the material has been ...

Early Autumn

Thorndike Pr, 1992

A Great Spenser Novel
EARLY AUTUMN is the seventh Spenser novel, and it's definitely one of the best ones. In this story, Spenser first meets 15-year old Paul Giacomin, who will become something of a surrogate son to him. This novel is mainly about their relationship with each other, and how Spenser teaches him how to grow up and deal with life in a self-respecting way. I love this novel because Spenser teaches ...

Paper Doll

Color Crayons & Paper Dolls. Tigers Beware.
Push a Pin into the perfection balloon. What is marriage ... what are styles of domesticity ... to a wealthy WASP, to a liberated couple like Spenser and Susan, to a good-guy gay cop, to a State Senator, to an aging wealthy southerner. The concluding scene in DOUBLE DEUCE, # 19 in the Spenser series, catered a surprising twist to Susan and Spenser's attempts at traditional homemaking. That ...

It was great
It was an excellent display of photographs, but the price was far from reasonable (it cost $120 used). I recommend it for any die-hard Spenser fans, but otherwise, don't bother.

Vintage Vignettes on Varieties of Rain? Dining on Times Past? Casting Pearls Before Swine? Oh Yeah. Tim Taylor approved!
The beginning chapters of PASTIME used a dramatically different stye from previous books I've read in the Spenser series. As other reviewers have helpfully described, this one's personal, and as such, to me it felt warm and "homey" (though, after the first chapters, the Spenser/Hawk/mob grit got going with full guts and grandeur... then paused periodically for more cozy "cookie" breaks). ...

Robert B. Parker 2-Pack: Chance & Double Deuce

Robert B. Parker

Audio Literature, 1999

The Worm Turns
In Chance, you will meet the least trustworthy group of double-dealers you can ever imagine. They won't tell Spenser what's really going on, and switch allegiances at the drop of a hat. Just when you think you know what will happen next, the plot switches off into an unexpected direction. Anthony Meeker, the biggest rat of them all, will keep you fascinated by raising the age-old question of ...

Batter's Up! Pitcher Pauses. Crack that Ball! Spenser's Heaven Visits Hell.
Loved the reality/fiction twist of Spenser going undercover as a writer to get into baseball back rooms and detect from inside the game. The poem introducing this heavenly concept of work overlapping play was a perfect preface. Of course the meaning in those lines from Robert Frost descend into deadly seriousness, beyond a person's job taking him into his most passionate pastime. It appears ...

Small Vices

Wheeler Publishing, 1997

One of Parker's best...
Just when I think that Robert Parker can't get any better with his Spenser series, I read something even more superior than the last. Small Vices ranks up there with one of his best. Spenser is hired by Rita Fiore, one time assistant DA and now working for a private law firm with deep pockets. A black man, Ellis Alves, has been convicted of murdering a young girl from Pemberton College. The ...

The Judas Goat

Dell, 1992

One of the best Spensers - not just because of Hawk
I LOVE Robert B. Parker - with my favorite being the Spenser series. His witty dialogue, the action, the humor, Susan and the other babes, Pearl the wonder dog - but before all that, looooong before comes Hawk. One man, one gun, a few words and a car. That's all there is to Spense's best friend. But whenever he turns up the action gets to be non stop with as an added bonus some of the funniest ...
