Summary: no big deal
Review: Wasn't good wasn't bad bad. I like G for Gumshoes

Rating:
Summary: Not Good
Review: I didnt like this book because i felt that the character development was poor and just as you thought you were getting to know the characters, grafton ends the book with "i blem them away." the amount of characters also contributes to the dullness of the book.

Summary: Great Book!
Review: The only thing about these books is that you are just getting used to the caracters and then the book ends.

Rating:
Summary: It tries just a little to hard.
Review: In my opinion the book starts of an OK note and then moves on to poor plot twists. The characters didn't exhibit much thought and the main character gets sidetracked by kinky toss ins. The end was a majior no brainer and not worth waiting for. As a whole, Private I Kinsey could be something but not if the auther is going to keep trying too hard to make this book cliche.

Summary: Wonderfully entertaining!!
Review: Dear Sue Grafton,I first discovered your books when I read "J". I was hooked!! I went to a local bookstore and purchased A through I and read them all before "K" was released. I sent the books to my mother so she too could enjoy them. She passed them on to my sister. We eagerly await each new release. Imagine how pleased I was just now while browsing this site to find that "O" is about to be released. It sounds like another winner!! I teach school and discovered one day that another teacher at our school attended college with Sue Grafton. You two still keep in touch.Maybe one day you will come for a visit and Judy will call me over to meet you. Until then, Sue, keep writing!

Summary: I liked it
Review: I really enjoyed this book...I'm a little surprised at all the bad reviews! I liked the fast pace, I really liked Kinsey, and I LOVED the very end! I cracked up when I read the very last sentence, it just caught me by surprise. But it totally made the book in my opinion, otherwise it would have been mediocre.

Summary: STILL TRYING TO LIKE GRAFTON
Review: I SEEM TO BE UNABLE TO REALLY GET ANY KIND OF RUSH FROM GRAFTON. SHE GOES ON AND ON DESCRIBING EVERY LITTLE THING,WHAT SOMETHING LOOKS LIKE ,OR TASTES LIKE, ANY LITTLE THING, THAT MOST TIMES HAS LITTLE TO DO WITH THE STORY, SO I FIND MYSELF SKIMMING THROUGH A LOT. MAYBE ANOTHER ONE WILL BE OF MORE INTEREST, I HAVE READ TWO, SO, I'LL GIVE IT ONE MORE TRY, I KNOW MANY READERS ENJOY HER, BUT NOT THIS READER SO FAR--

Summary: Not Bad---After The Third Time
Review: The first time I read it, I didn't like it. The second time I read it, I didn't like it. But the third time's the charm, and I actually finished it. This book introduced the series that has been getting all the attention. It's not bad, and like many reviewers said, you have to read this to get a feel for Kinsey Millhone. Yes, she undefined. yes, the plot and characters are a little two dimensional. But listen people, I am a writer and a songwriter myself, and you can't expect the first book and the first song you write to be dynamite. It takes practice and tons of writing, which is what Ms. Grafton has done and she's gotten better. So, if you want a breazy read, this is one to buy as well as the rest of the series. I read A-G when I was sick over winter break and what a better way to take my mind off of sneezing, wheezing, and draining.

Summary: Dull and a torture to complete.
Review: Having been disappointed in my first Sue Grafton, N is for Noose, I was assured by a fan that the earlier books were better. A is for Alibi was a bigger disappointment and, unfortunately, I have one more book I bought to go. How did this author ever publish? I would give it zero stars, if I could.
