This review is from: Rumpole for the Defence (Audio Cassette)

Rumpole for the Defence, as read by Patrick Tull, is great! Unfortunately Patrick Tull's readings no longer seem to be in circulation. The reader for this set of cd's has a grating voice which is hard to listen to. Ouch!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Old Bailey Hack is Back, September 3, 2006

S. Schwartz "romonko" (alberta canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rumpole for the Defense (Paperback)

We again meet with the inimitable Horace Rumpole in this collection of seven short stories. We have our favourite old curmudgeon dealing with all kinds of things from blackmail to corrupt coppers to murder. I can't stress enough how enjoyable these Rumpole stories are. They are extremely funny, and Rumpole's dry wit emerges over and over again. And the other characters in each story are just as memorable. Even the villains are wonderfully unique. John Mortimer is a very talented writer, and I invite you to enter his wonderful world with Horace Rumpole "rising to his hind legs" for each of his orations in court "up at the Old Bailey".

5.0 out of 5 stars Irresistible and unforgettable, June 18, 2005

Faye (Manila, Philippines) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rumpole for the Defense (Paperback)

I couldn't put this book down. Rumpole's deprecating wit and touching cluelessness make him impossible to resist or to forget. This book actually made me scream with laughter, especially Rumpole's wry descriptions of one of his old school cronies who looks like a shrimp.
