5.0 out of 5 stars This Rain Ain't Just Silver, It's LONELY, May 29 2000
By Nick Warne (Sydney, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
Some years after his death, John D Macdonald remains much under-valued. The Travis McGee "colour" series parallels Macdonald's career and on re-reading can be seen to develop along with the maturity of the author. Travis observes things as John did. This blurring of the line between author and character is assisted by the use of the first person, and is fascinating in itself. However, it also reaches a new plane in 'Rain'. For twenty-odd years Travis represented the man who lived our dreams: unattached, entirely self-sufficient, a wolf among the sheep. In 'Rain', Macdonald courageously forces his hero to pay the price of those choices. I've read this book many times. The last chapter makes me cry every time (which is tough for a 41 year old Englishman). I don't weep for Travis, but for the end of all our dreams and the persistent treasure of family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't have been better . . ., Nov 4 1999
By A Customer
The Travis McGee series represents one of the greatest accomplishments of American fiction -- ever. Never mind the rumors of MacDonald working on another story (before he died) with the color "Black" in the title, this is the way a series should end. Travis has taken countless blows, physical and emotional, throughout his career. In this novel, however, we see Travis's rusty armour nearly falling off, his horse nearly crippled, and his enemies closing in on all sides for the kill. As he triumphs one last time over the insurmountable odds, he gains a new reason to continue being the white knight. While this book is superb, I wouldn't recommend reading it until you've read at least a few others in the series (especially "Pale Gray for Guilt"). Not only will you understand more about the plot and characters, you will have more invested in seeing Travis's ultimate redemption.

5.0 out of 5 stars It tied the series together, Jun 8 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Lonely Silver Rain: A Travis McGee Novel (Audio Cassette)
Travis McGee is one of the most interesting characters I have ever cared about in any mystery series. I like him, I like his friends, and I enjoy all his adventures. I picture him as a real person who, I would have like to have met.
