Book Reviews of Cruel Zinc Melodies (Garrett, P.I.)
Book Review: Excellent Divergence
Summary: 5 Stars
John D. MacDonald: Five Complete Travis McGee Novels
I don't really understand the complaints about the complexity or length of this book. All of the previous books are derivative of John D MacDonald's excellent Travis McGee series with a little fantasy thrown in right down to the naming convention. Macdonald uses colors instead of metals in every title.
Both are great reads but this is the first time the series stands on it's own feet and diverges from the MacDonald formula. Many of the tale's old friends come back for a rousing romp in a more convoluted plot. I hope there are more coming even if it is co-authored or even ghost written! If you want simple go back to the beginning or read Travis McGee. I find many of the characters laugh out loud funny and each one has similar depth. Kudos to Glen Cook
