Title: A Robert Parker Novel that's a Terrible Waste
Product review: I am such a fan of Robert Parker, particularly the Spenser novels, that I preorder them in anticipation long before their publication date. This book, Gunman's Rapsody, was an enormous disappointment. I love Robert Parker and I love western lore, so this was a double whammy as far as I'm concerned. Basically, this book is a scene by scene recap of Kevin Costner's film, Wyatt Earp. That's it. There was no real exploration of character and no real story. It was almost a novel based on a screen play. What a pity. And what a waste of time and effort. I can't believe I read the whole thing. Up until the last page, I hoped for it to get better. I am so disappointed. I will wait until publication before buying future Parker books. I feel I've been had.
