Typical of all of Walter Mosley's Easy Rawlins mysteries, A Little Yellow Dog is well-written, exhaustively researched, and thoroughly enjoyable. Mr. Mosley is a wordsmith and craftsman and I don't think he is capable of writing a bad Easy Rawlins story.

I love Walter Mosley mysteries and look forward to each new Easy Rawlin's book that comes out. If you have never read Mosley's books, you have to try this one.

Not my style. Don't like mystery's, didn't finish. The writing style is black slang, hard to read.

I like all of Walter Mosley's stuff. Easy Rawlins in a great character. Alternately gritty and hapless, with his conscienceless sidekick Mouse, he is a guy you can both admire and feel sympathy for.

"Mosley's mysteries take us to places in black culture where few white readers have been". A great read! (And the little yellow dog seems to love everyone except Easy!)
