GOOD READ

Revisado: 11-16-21

Fear Itself, read by Don Cheadle, was an excellent detective story. Mosley's use of location, i.e., Los Angeles CA, the times -- early 60's -- and the interplay between Fearless and Perris and the other characters is totally believable and masterfully rendered. Looking forward to reading more in the Fearless Jones saga.

Charcoal Joe is pure Mosley at it's best

Revisado: 09-06-21

Reading an Easy Rawlins mystery is like riding on the roller coaster at the amusement park. It starts out with the introduction to a new character or situation in his life that rapidlty devolves into a sorded, twisted mess. As the protagonist in the episode, Easy must call on all the, life lessons, luck, "mother wit," and skill developed through years of living "Black" in America. Because of who he is, and his particular ability to help them, he has developed a network of friends who are always on hand to assist him to prevail in the face of the odds being stacked against him.
Mosley completely fleshes out each character that be introduced to the point that you get a clear of them. As the yarn develops, you can anticipate certain situations developing; however, you can never guess where the plot is going to twist next.
This is a very satisfying read, the narrator is skilled and handles Mosley's plethora of characters with ease. I highly recommed that you read the entire series so that you get a deeper understanding of the pre-Watts Riot Los Angeles scene from the perspective of the Black population. Charcoal Joe is set in the Loa Angeles a couple years after the riot. The changes that affected the city did little to change the dynamic. that existed between the Blacks and the Police Department. They were still a visible part of the problem in the various neighborhoods that Black called home.

ASIMOV'S FOUNDATION IS A MASTERPIECE

Revisado: 08-27-21

The story of the First and Second Foundations continues in this third installment. Riveting until the end it holds the reader until the final sentence. Asimov has the ability to weave credible tales around the science fiction backdrop without overpowering the reader in overly far-fetched (and therefore unbelievable) science.

GREAT READ TIL THE END

Revisado: 08-20-21

I enjoyed the character, the science was acceptable, believable to a point and didn't get in the way. The plot was engrossing and satisfactorily resolved thru the efforts of the protagonist.

GOOD FACINATING STORY

Revisado: 07-31-21

Enjoyed it to the end. Good, realistic characters that continually struggle against a seemingly insurmountable galactic evil. Looking forward to reading the rest of the books in the series.

Great book to wile away the hours with!

Revisado: 05-30-21

This was a great story to read while on dialysis. It was part space opera and a detective story rolled into one. The plot was good; characters were interesting and complex for this kind of story. The narration was on point and kept me involved in the action until the end.

A good read.

The story was unexpectedly touching. The ending touched on the age-old question, can a machine experience emotions?
