I finished the whole book and, while I wouldn't describe it
as "pathetic," as Miker did, I was disappointed. I'd heard
about it for years, as Brian had, and I've got to say, it
just didn't live up to the hype. It seemed like a fairly
typical, garden-variety, hard- boiled PI novel, reasonably
competent, but nothing to set it apart from the run of the
mill.
Like Brian, I much preferred the short stories.
