Jannelies's Reviews > The Burglar Who Met Fredric Brown

I must be the only person here on GR who's never heard of Lawrence Block... or Bernie Rhodenbarr. I apologize, dear readers, but I picked up this title because it refers to Fredric Brown, who's in fact one of my favorite SF-authors.
After reading this absolutely entertaining story and getting to know Bernie and Carol (and don't forget Raffles), I promise I will try and make good on my omission ;-). This will not be the last Lawrence Block I will read.
For an avid SF-reader there's not much new in this story because I read What Mad World by Fredric Brown a long, long time ago. I really do admire Mr. Block for weaving two characters like Bernie and Carol in this intricate story/time travel story. I would have liked a little more explanation in an earlier stage of the story, because now the last few chapters feel very overloaded with information, but all in all it was a very pleasurable read.
