4.0�toiles sur 5 Better than buttered popcorn!, D�c 18 2002

Par	Glen Engel Cox "www.engel-cox.org" (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Scarlet Ruse (Mass Market Paperback)

Number fourteen in the Travis McGee series, and I continue to devour the things like they were popcorn, even though I want to slow down and examine how MacDonald can be so amazingly readable page after page. Maybe a MacDonald novel is like light in that famous physics conundrum (Michaelson-Morley?)--to define light, one must "stop" it in its tracks, and then it isn't light anymore, i.e. the observation of it affects it.

This time McGee is trying to recover some stamps that have gotten switched for cheaper versions. Along the way McGee makes his typical observations about life and politics, adds a few more scars to his battered body, and becomes a little wiser.

4.0�toiles sur 5 Of stamps, women, and introspection., Juil 2 2001

Par	Robert S. Clay Jr. (St. Louis, MO., USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Scarlet Ruse (Mass Market Paperback)

Travis McGee embarks on another of his trademark "salvage" missions involving a fortune in missing rare stamps. McGee's ruminations on people, relationships, human aspirations, money, politics, etc. are amusing social commentary, albeit thirty years later. Some of the observations of life in the '70s seem dated, but not enough to matter. Beyond this slight quibble, there is the vicious killer, and the complex mystery of the missing stamps. In addition, we have Mary Alice McDermit, a dark-haired giant of a woman with a healthy sex-drive and a troubled past. The lovable Meyer is present, still pontificating on economics and human foibles. As mystery-suspense novels go, the Travis McGee series is a perennial favorite. John D. MacDonald stresses introspection and character development rather than blood and thunder action. The typical Florida setting is exotic. Altogether, good lightweight reading material for summer vacations or anytime. ;-)

3.0�toiles sur 5 A McGee of a different color, Sep 8 2000

Par	Larry Eischen (Joliet, IL United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Scarlet Ruse (Mass Market Paperback)

This reads like an excellent MacDonald suspense novel. You know, those stories he wrote before McGee where a bunch of nasty characters get caught in some nefarious scheme. But it's subpar McGee. It's like MacDonald Started one type of novel and finished with another. Don't get me wrong, if McGee and Meyer had been replaced by characters named Joe Smith and Fred Jones, it would have been great. It just ain't McGee.

I wasn't sure about Darren McGavin reading these books. I thought he was too different from who I thought Travis McGee was. Jimmy Buffett maybe, but Darren McGavin? Read more
