Review: Parker red lacquer Sonnet ballpoint - I can resist anything except temptation! A few years ago, a posh Parker ballpoint that I'd inherited from my Dad fell apart in my hand, and I've missed it ever since. Seeing this red lacquer Sonnet going for £61, I finally gave in to my craving to replace my favourite pen with one very similar to it. The Sonnet ballpoint is almost exactly the same size as a Parker jotter, so if you're happy writing with one of those, upgrading to its deluxe cousin won't cause you any discomfort. The main difference in the feel of the Sonnet compared to a jotter is the extra weight that comes from its using brass instead of plastic. Its French-manufactured metal construction gives it an agreeable feeling of substance—I'd be surprised if its twist mechanism didn't turn out to be durable. Of course, some people would say that spending more than a tenner for a pen is silly, and I can't imagine ever paying the kind of price asked by Mont Blanc, for example. But it seems to me that this Sonnet ballpoint is a very happy compromise between the claims of economy and beauty, not least because its compatibility with Parker's gel refills means that it can produce writing almost indistinguishable from a fountain pen's. Warmly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Looks sophisticated
*by C***K on 25 May 2024*

I bought this ballpoint pen to match its larger brother, the fountain pen. They make a great set of pens to own and use. I have a modest Parker pen collection, mostly fountain pens but I was in the market for a ballpoint pen when I saw this. Originally it nearly £100 more when I first saw it but when I checked a few months later it had reduced to its current cost so I decided to buy it. Very pleased with the pen, writes beautifully as you'd expect from a Parker Pen!
