Oddly enough, I feel exactly the opposite. Just read
_The Man with the Getaway Face_ and while I liked it, more or
less, the whole thing left me rather cold. Although I think I
understand what Westlake was trying to do here, I think,
oddly enough, that he's almost too successful doing it. Hard
for me to put it into words, but I actually find the Parker
novels (I've read a couple of others) sort of dull. I think
the Grofeld novels are much more entertaining -- maybe
because Grofeld is a more appealing character. At least to
me.
I realize this is a completely eccentric opinion.
