Walk down memory lane - I bought this to add to my Amazon Cloud Playlist for a party I threw last Saturday.  My guests loved it as we are in our 50-60's and loved the tunes back then.

I enjoyed reading this-I had bought the book when it originally came out and it brought back a lot of memories.

I was worried that after 30 years of change that it wouldn't be as good as I remembered it - but it was! What it lacks in modern special effects, it makes up for in good writing, suspense and a sense of humor. What I used to say about X-Files is "I liked it better when it was called Kolchak - The Night Stalker." Enjoy!

I remember this book from 60+ years ago.  The reality was even better than I remembered.  I'm so glad to have found it.

Have loved this story from the first time I saw it about 40 years ago.  It was scary then when I a kid ,now it's becomes even more scary when I see how close technology and politics have brought us to that fictional time and place.
Still a great read.!!!

I only bought the book because the copy I read 40 years ago was misplaced.  Re-read it and enjoyed it just as much.  We all can learn some lessons in behavior from this book. ( I was a great movie also.)

This was an old fashioned book when I read it as a girl about 1950. I then had only seen tenements from out side as we rode by on the train but I knew poverty existed and was ready to think more about it. I had countless times picnicked in the beautiful country and been allowed to play in the water so I could identify with that part too.

As an adult I enjoyed reading Michael O'Halloran again. I borrowed it from the library. By then I appreciated both the music and the investment aspects more. By then I had climbed to the top floor apartment taking home a seriously injured child from the playground where I worked. I was a little surprised that a childhood classic was still so interesting.

Now as a Senior Citizen I enjoyed all of it for the third time and really got a different perspective on the men in the book as I know more how important trust and having others in ones life can be. I also enjoyed the women in the book.

I read it 30 years ago when I was a teenager. A few weeks ago I got it for my 9 year old daughter and she had no interest in it, so I read it myself. It still was great and I really enjoyed it. I would recommend this book to any young adult from ages 10 to 16 who enjoys exciting mysteries.

This was a nostalgic read for me. I first read this book some forty years ago and quickly became hooked on the series. I stopped reading around #100. With news of a possible Executioner movie being developed, I wanted to go back to reread the original to see if it was as good as I remembered. It was. The book was written in the late Sixties/early Seventies. Times were different. HUGELY different. What would likely be considered politically incorrect today was a reality back then. Even with those "parts" the story holds up remarkably well. Okay, there's nothing remarkable about it holding up. Don Pendleton was that good of a writer and storyteller. I wish now that the publisher would re-release all the early books. I'd love to have them in digital format (my preferred way to read) and yes, I'd blow my entire book budget to get them.

I am now 81 years old and had great memories of penrod. As a young boy, man and old man I read continuely. My sisters and parents always read and encouraged me to do so. In rereading this book so many years later it difficult for me to describe the feeling of reliving my youth.
  In reading the book now, I wonder hoe I understood many of the words!!

These dopey things have really improved in 40 years...  And this one really looks very cool.
A lot of fun. If you like the way it looks you will enjoy taking it places and listen to people tell
you how nice your frisbe is.
