Chasing the Bear by Robert B. Parker

A Young Spenser Novel

Plot: in this book, you learn about how the private detective Spenser was as a teenager. Even then, he was independent, quick-thinking, and protective.

Comments: this book probably wouldn't be all that great if you hadn't already read several Spenser novels and liked them a lot, like I have. By itself, I don't know if it's that great of a story, but I liked learning about the childhood of one of my favorite book characters. It was fun to compare the young Spenser to the older Spenser, because they were so much alike. I liked reading about his father and uncles who raised him, and the lessons they taught him.

Rating: I rate this book a six out of ten.
