It's very good, yes. A noir classic, no. I believe it's the only novel
Gehman ever wrote. Everything else I've seen by him is non-fiction. I
recently picked up a book he wrote on Sinatra and The Rat Pack. The first
biography of The Rat Pack I think. Haven't gotten around to reading it.
But, anyway, Driven is one of those novels that's highly praised, but
difficult to find. It seems the harder a good book is to find, the more it's
praised.
