5.0 out of 5 stars Point Blank - read it NOW!!, August 3, 2011

WOW! Richard Stark (AKA Donald E. Westlake) writes amazing, faced paced, gritty crime. His main character, Parker, isn't a classic good guy, he's not going beyond the law to seek revenge for a moral wrong. He is morally questionable and sometimes his actions are repugnant but I still always want him to win. I have only dipped my little toe into the pool that is the "Parker series" of Stark books (I think I have read four of about 24 "Parker" books) but I intend to immerse myself and read every single one of them. You start to think the author must be a criminal mastermind to come up with all these ingenious heists and rackets. I also love how the books range across so many years and yet Parker remains as young, invincible and ageless as ever.

Love the Parker series so I thought I was buying this book with the red Lee Marvin book cover you see pictured somewhere on this page. It was described as a British first edition but no where does it really confirm that. Paid over ten bucks for it and it arrived with a 75 cents sticker on the cover. Imagine my surprise. 5 stars for Parker and Lee Marvin, 1 star for the book seller.

Btw, the Parker series are fantastic so it's too bad I have to leave a one star review here since I can't change my seller feedback.
