It's been a while since I read a Dortmunder book and after reading Watch Your Back, I realize I need to start reading more Westlake, or re-reading, since over the years I've forgotten the plot to a lot of books. Anyway, outstanding characters and story and the writing doesn't get in the way (the mark of a good storyteller) ( ) The first chapter is a perfect example of why I like this series so much! The bar, the regulars, the conversations, and the drink orders all just make me smile and feel at home! I’ll be sad when I read them all… And one of the plot lines in this book is the gang trying to save that bar! Fun stuff! In fact, the whole book was just a fun read! I loved the kid, J.C., learning the ropes with the gang! Very humorous! The main 'job' in this story doesn't go as they planned it, but does it ever with Dortmunder and the gang? Wanna have fun? Count how many times the ‘f’ word is used in chapter 25! Watch Your Back: Donald Westlake can do no wrong for me. So much fun in the story as rich man tries to escape from his many ex wives and only succeeds in digging himself in deeper. The OJ bar nearly gets lost in a scam (this bar always reminds me of the old TV series Cheers and makes me smile) and then the mob get involved .. .. .. .. .. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Hapless criminal John Dortmunder returns in another rollicking tale of disorganized crime from Grand Master of Mystery Donald E. Westlake. It's the score of a lifetime: easy access to a lavish New York City apartment, hordes of valuables, and an absentee owner avoiding the lawyers of his unhappy ex-wives. But before they pull the job, Dortmunder's crew is startled to find their beloved gin joint, the OJ, in the clutches of the Mafia-who consider it perfect for a little fraud, courtesy of a nice big fire. For tactical and highly superstitious reasons, the fate of the OJ is even more important to the crew than the enormous score. Now, Dortmunder and his gang are determined to split their time, fighting the mob and robbing the rich simultaneously. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
