    I want a refund

    I have read all of T. Jefferson Parker's books. Most were good , others very good. This one is neither. The story is contrived, convoluted and unbelievable. Too many unnessary side trips just for filler. The character Mike Finnegan should be carrying a pitchfork The drug dealer wants another million bucks just so he can have a song written about him? This is laughable. And the ending is a ripoff. It's like Parker just stopped in mind thought, and decided he has to set up the next book. Really TJ you should be ashamed, you're better than this.

    I haven't even finished this book yet but can definitely understand the bad reviews. I honestly didn't believe them so went ahead and bought it and now I actually don't think I can finish reading it, it's so bad. Boring characters, boring and unbelievable story line. Parker's always been one of my favorite writers. Didn't think he was capable of writing such a bad book. Sorry, TJP, but this faithful fan cannot recommend this one.

    Really boring

    This has to be one of the worst adventure/mystery novels I've ever read. Well not completely. Got to page 275 and threw the book out. Pointless.

    Was a disappointment

    It rambled and at times was disjointed in thought. I judge a book by the fact I don't want it to end. This one, the end didn't come soon enough.

    Disappointed.

    Since I had enjoyed the 4 other books in the Charlie Hood series I'd looked forward to this one. However, I felt that the story lacked real credibility by the heroes actions in saving Erin. It just seemed way over the top to survive so many obstacles.
    Hope the next one stresses more of Charlie and less of Bradley.

    3.5

    The average rating is currently 3.5 for The Jaguar, and that's about right. It doesn't match up to the previous books, in my opinion. Charlie Hood has no real role until the end. What happens with him prior to that does not feel real, especially the crocodile swim. My impression is that that scene, as well as the scene in Reynosa, were contrived just to get him in the action, which really centers around Bradley and Erin. The Mike character is a little off the wall, so it does not help the story that much. Charlie Hood should be the focus as the most dramatic character, and here he is not.

    excellent...beautifully written..edge of your seat story.

    Ijust finished this wonderful bk in 3 days.i have not read a read lately
    where I actually felt like I was there watching from afar.I have read
    the first 2 bks & they were amazing.if you truly want to enjoy this book to the fullest..get the first 2 books in the series.I have read the other
    reviews & frankly I just do not agree with them. I do not feel like I
    wasted my time,in fact I feel that I just read a great book.honest.
    actually,I feel a little bit let down..because what book should I read
    now that will keep me entertained..better than music,better than tv....
    what I will admit was ..I did not read the 2 books before this..& I do
    agree I was just abit disappointed (also shocked) when the wife was
    actually captured..there should of been a more thorough explanation on how the husband got to the wife. the mike character was just 1 lucky con
    man.if u r looking for a good series to start & want good reads ahead..
    begin the series now.Mr.parker never disappoints.cheers!
