I have to say, I enjoyed it much more than BLIND RAGE, mostly because not only is Bronson a more sympathetic protagonist, not only because of his treatment of bystanders and so forth but because of the internal struggles he goes through, especially with regards to his dead family. I also liked the conflict between him and Jenkins, as well as the inclusion of Scarlotti and the other Mafiosi.<br /><br />If I used a star rating, I'd give BLIND RAGE a 3, with STREETS OF BLOOD a 4+.Jack Badelairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10932441028544500024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8707040.post-58357023984326437262011-06-08T22:26:27.992-05:002011-06-08T22:26:27.992-05:00I want to second Bill's Last Buffon recommenda...I want to second Bill's Last Buffon recommendation. I really liked that one and want to re-read it. Ironically, I just bought this volume of Bronson the other week, but was waiting to get #1 before reading it. I also just read another Levinson book, Sharpshooter #4, which you've also reviewed; I enjoyed that one too. I'd love to get in touch with Levinson but I'm unable to find any contact info for him...though he did post a response to an Amazon review for The Last Buffon in 2008; I put the URL for this in the comment I posted on Bill Crider's review.Joe Kenneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285576322579808153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8707040.post-3250125666265185402011-06-07T22:48:28.803-05:002011-06-07T22:48:28.803-05:00Thanks for bringing these books to my attention.

The narrator is the author of a lot of men's action books. I reviewed it on my blog a while back.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02350478005243505108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8707040.post-72012530898626692972011-06-07T17:04:34.616-05:002011-06-07T17:04:34.616-05:00Good to see these books haven't been forgotten...Good to see these books haven't been forgotten. They're some of the most depraved action-series books ever. They feel like the author hates the vigilante-fiction audience and is taking his anger out on us by wallowing in as much grime and sick behavior as he can. Which, o' course, is pretty interesting... :)Zwolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02364540771153476179noreply@blogger.com
