Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Excellent like Swift, Bruce J. Friedman, Chandler, and Vonnegut
You might consider not paying attention to the reviews that pan this gem. Gem's tend to be little so who with a sense of humor who is reasonably well read and reasonably well-experienced in life will carp about the second half of the book being "predictable" ? Rhetorical questions aside, I admit I am not of the attention-deficit nation--I don't need three announcers and live-phone interviews while i'm watching a football game. As a pedestrian non-know it all and imperfect English teacher, I can ... Read More
Rating: - A Super-Seductive, Thoroughly Entertaining Read!!
Late one afternoon Peter Scuro, a thirty-six year-old out of work actor, hits his favorite Manhattan bar, aptly named the "Loser's Place," after being told by yet another casting director that they're looking for a "younger type." Peter is on his second martini when a woman, covered in mink, wearing dark glasses, hands him fifty dollars and asks him, "your place?" Outside, waiting for a cab, he asks, "Why me?" She answers, "You look reasonably clean." She turns out to be Martha Twombly, late forties, ... Read More
Rating: - The Seduction of Jeff R
My name is Jeff Richmond. I'm the kind of guy who goes through libraries asking, "Is this all there is?"
Finding Lawrence Sander's "The Seduction of Peter S" was like picking up the perfect girl in the most average place--a bar, a supermarket, or a library for that matter. Perfect not because of any great or lasting beauty, or any real depth of character, but because I didn't have to pretend to be anyone but who I really am--an average reader who craves an above-average read.

Rating:  - I did not enjoy this book.
This book was recommended through the Amazon "Book Finder" based on my interest in intrigue/spy, etc. titles. I bought it, but wish I hadn't. I never really understood what the author was trying to tell us about Peter or his situation. Although it's a quick read, I actually forgot to finish it and found it several days later in my study, face down, with about 5 pages left to read. I won't try this author again.
Rating: - Intriguing
I have read just about all of Lawrence Sanders' work and just like the rest, i find myself rereading this book. I think his greatest secret to his writing is the way he can be descriptive without being boring. I highly recommend this novel along with the authors other works.
