5.0 out of 5 stars A Comedy of Errors and Manners in a Mystery, Nov 4 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Metzger's Dog: A Novel (Paperback)

Thomas Perry's body of work is so original, so imaginative, that I'm surprized all his novels don't win Edgar awards. Bravo to the publishers for making his early work available; it's a joy to see where many of the themes that govern his later work took root.

Metzger's Dog is peopled with the full-bodied characters you expect from Perry, along with irony, humor, and bursts of unexpected violence. Setting the CIA and a gang of thieves on a level playing field, and getting the reader to root for the gang of thieves is deft writing, indeed.

Another word about Perry's use of violence. Given his plot lines, you'd expect a lot of it. Well, there's a lot of implied violence, and you expect it at every turn, yet he usually manages to shock you when it finally, and rarely, appears.

Thomas Perry gets my vote as one of the best mystery/suspense writers of the century. --

5.0 out of 5 stars Amusing and Ironical, Oct 7 2003

By	Mark Paulson "sandy" (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Metzger's Dog: A Novel (Paperback)

I am trying to read all of Perry's books, and I was thrilled with this one. As usual, Perry mixes adventure and excitement with tongue and cheek humor. I laughed out loud when I read the parts about Metzger and his dog...too funny.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the best, Jul 2 2003

By	Jane Bedinger (Seattle) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Metzger's Dog: A Novel (Paperback)

Thomas Perry's early books are masterpieces and thank goodness the publishers have yielded to public pressure and made them available again. This is a delicious confection. Metzger's Dog has everything Perry is famous for -- violence, humanity, irony -- and unlike some authors, he carries through right up to the last scene. It's got the attention to details, strategic thinking, and casual violence of "tough" thrillers, mixed with an upbeat affection for life that makes it three-dimensional and unforgettable. You never want it to end; you never want to say goodbye to the characters. Now, join me in a moment of prayer that the publishers will reissue "Big Fish", another great book that should never have gone out of print.
