4.0 out of 5 stars
warning: not a mystery
Lawrence Block is known as a mystery writer, and I like his mysteries very much. Probably because publishers are jerks, this book is billed as a mystery. It isn't. There is very little suspense, and no mystery at all. This book is erotic fiction. If you know that before you read it, so that you are not disappointed by the lack of mystery, you may well enjoy it very...

Don't Waste Your Time!!
Let me say right up front, I think Lawrence Block, the winner of numerous Edgars for his mystery novels, is one of my favorite novelists of all time. His Matthew Scudden novel series and Bernie Rhodenbarr/ Burglar series are, in my opinion, without peer. I even took one of Block's 2-day seminars in the mid 1980's called "Write For Your Life." That's how much I love...

There is very little suspense, and no mystery at all. This book is erotic fiction. If you know that before you read it, so that you are not disappointed by the lack of mystery, you may well enjoy it very much: it is *very* good erotic fiction

This review is from: No Score (Chip Harrison Mystery) (Paperback)
Let me say right up front, I think Lawrence Block, the winner of numerous Edgars for his mystery novels, is one of my favorite novelists of all time. His Matthew Scudden novel series and Bernie Rhodenbarr/ Burglar series are, in my opinion, without peer. I even took one of Block's 2-day seminars in the mid 1980's called "Write For Your Life." That's how much I love Lawrence Block.
But this book "No Score - A Chip Harrison Mystery" is not a mystery at all. Block wrote this novel in 1970, and it's nothing more than the rantings of an 18-year old boy in the quest for his first sexual experience with a woman. That's the plot! So in effect, there is no plot. Sure, there's a few laughs along the way, but not one reason to continue reading, which I sadly did, to the very end. It was a huge disappointment, to say the least.

Pure Porno; Why is Lawrence Block Allowing a Reprint?,
By A Customer
This review is from: No Score (Chip Harrison Mystery) (Paperback)
No Score refers to the title characters inability to complete the sex act with numerous partners throughout the story. Lawrence Block is one of my favorite authors. He must have written this book when he desperately needed the money. It should not have been republished
