This review is from: Beggarman, Thief (Hardcover)
I was happy to find out that Rich Man, Poor Man, which immediately became one of my favorite books after I finished it, had a sequel. Being a sequel, it definitely didn't live up to Rich Man, Poor Man, but I considered it an excellent follow up. It was cool to see all the characters from the original and the book had a lot of events in it, as did the last one, which is what I love about them. I wasn't at all disappointed and this is probably my favorite series of books.

Good carry on from Rich Man, Poor Man, Nov 17 1999

This review is from: Beggarman, Thief / Irwin Shaw (Hardcover)
Not as good as Rich Man, Poor Man but a good sequel nonetheless. I ended RM, PM wondering more about the characters (a sign of a good book to me I might add) and was delighted to read B,T. Definitely need to read them both to feel satisfied.

Shabby rehash, Jan 22 2010
By Lori F. - Published on Amazon.com
This is the so-called sequel to "Rich Man, Poor Man", which was a well-written, absorbing story with interesting characters. Far from being a sequel, however, this novel is a sad rehash of the earlier success. Shaw revisits his characters from "Rich Man, Poor Man", but they do nothing more than reminisce about plotlines from the original novel. Please be diligent about recycling your post-consumer waste, but don't disappoint yourself by reading a recycled book.
