5.0�toiles sur 5 In the same grand style as the "Deadly Sins" series...., F�v 8 2002

Par	GML "rodentia27" (Saginaw, Michigan United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

It has been quite a while since I became captivated by a particular author, but Lawrence Sanders has a style and way with words that help me to visualize the words on the page into a film that plays in my mind. Caper is the 7th Lawrence Sanders work I have read, and I am happy to report that this work is on par with the excellent work of his "Deadly Sins" series. The writing is crisp, the ideas well thought out, and the characters interesting and creative. The McNally Series of books by Sanders are awfully simplistic and tiresome to read, but Caper and the Deadly Sins works are a pure joy.

The story revolves around a writer who finds she needs to insert "realism" into her work as a detective novelist. How does she do this? By attempting to live the life of a criminal.... planning a big heist.... but backing out at the last moment.... or will she?

Fun and enjoyable, this work has allowed me to find what I really enjoy about Sanders work again after the dull and insipid McNally works.

4.0�toiles sur 5 It will steal your attention, Avril 14 2001

Par	Mare "glorymoon" (Tucson, AZ United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

I had just got done with The First Commandment, and as I'm wont to do, I picked up the next book I saw by the same author. I don't think I've enjoyed a book like this in a long time. Whereas the characters are predictable, the middle of the book sweeps you up in its stunning twist. From there foreward, its a roller coaster ride of quick, descriptive action with a penchant for bloodletting becoming of a detective/mystery writer. I fell head over heels for Jack, Jannie, and Dick, even holding a soft spot for Himey Gore. I've re-read the book at least 8 times since owning it. You just can't go wrong with "healthy junk food" writing like this.

2.0�toiles sur 5 Not up to par., Mars 19 2000

Par	"vitaminboy" (Montreal, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires

I usually like Lawrence Sanders's books, but this one was pretty pathetic. It was totatly implausable, with the cornball dialogue, cheeseball villains and melodramatic plotting of a saturday morning cartoon. The book tells the story of a thriller writer, who, having stalled creatively, decides to set up a heist in order to come up with material for a book. Unforturnately, she's soon in over her head. and so is Lawrence Sanders. Maybe he should have tried sticking up a bank.

Next time you drive through Macon, take the correct exit off I-75. There are no oxen plows here, nor do the women look 30 years older than they should. Read more

The prose alone is too insipid to bear, with everything repeatedly explained as though for a moronic audience. The characters were unbelievable. Read more

3.0�toiles sur 5 Interesting characters, a good plot but fails to grip.
Interesting characters and a good plot. Moves along well, with plenty of action and suspense. But somehow it doesn't grip the reader like an ideal book should. Read more
