5.0 out of 5 stars FUZZ IS A FIVE!!!!, Aug 20 2002
By Mac Blair "Mac Blair" (Huntingdon, TN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fuzz (Mass Market Paperback)
Fuzz is a five, to me anyway. There are really three stores going on at the same time. One is: someone is throwing gasoline on bums as they sleep and setting them on fire. Carella goes undercover for this one and gets burned himself. Another is: who is after John the Taylor? He is to be robbed but different people show up at the time of the robbery. The other story is the main one.A commissioner is killed after a threat. The Deputy Mayor is killed after a threat. The Mayor is to be next. The squad figures it is the "deaf man" again. All the 87th precinct people work on this. Carella considers him to be a "master criminal"--can he be caught???????? Read as the entire group try to bring this man to justice. As usual McBain writes so you can believe you are there.You get to where you have feelings for each officer and really think you know them. This is the 22nd book I have read by McBain and I think there was only one I did not like. The odds are pretty good you will like this one also.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Deaf Man's Second Appearance, Jun 5 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Fuzz (Mass Market Paperback)
Ed McBain's 1968 "Fuzz" is a terrific read and a lot of fun from a great writer. Notable mostly for the second appearance of the Deaf Man, whom the reader learns more about his brilliance, and the 87th Precinct detectives who try to thwart his every move. Unfortunately, the Deaf Man will try to stop the detectives by making them look stupid and incompetent in the process.

I loved this book. The more I learn about the Deaf Man, the more I want to know. Congratulations to Mr. Ed McBain, the master, for creating such a terrific character. Maybe I could learn a few things or two from the Deaf Man about being a criminal genius.

I also enjoyed the background story about the squad room painters and the Tailor Shop. As for the reader from Minneapolis, MN, did it ever occur to you that not all cops are corrupt and rascist? Even then, remember reading about Detective Andy Parker? Next time, try reading the book before writing a bad review and insulting a great writer.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dated and stupid, Mar 30 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Fuzz (Mass Market Paperback)
Poor long-suffering overworked underpaid cops of the mythical 87th precinct ... none of them corrupt, none of them racist, all of them clever conversationalists. Here they again confront McBain's evil genius, the deaf man. Never occurs to anyone that witnesses that could identify him might need protecting. Also no one seems to think it might be a good idea to put his threatened victims in hiding, even after two of them are murdered. McBain presents the deaf man's harebrained scheme as plausible. What little good his beloved cops actually accomplish is by just plain dumb luck and bizarre coincidence.

Was everybody really this dimwitted back in the 60s? How did this sloppy, uncritical, naive writer ever get his great reputation?
