Hit List (John Keller Mysteries) 63 reviews Lawrence Block
HarperTorch, 2002

Chronicle Books, 1996
Hard Boiled a classic
+ Attractive Presentation. Format for Quotes Could Be Better. + All the classics...
The book hit me like a cold, hard slap in the face. The book is handsome and filled with all kinds of noir lines and photos. It's very funny. After reading it, it made me go online and search for these great B&W jems on tape.

I agree with most of the comments by the reviewers so far. I was, in fact, surprised when I read those comments: it is not very often that reviewers express as similar opinions as they have when describing this book. For such reason, I will not go into details about the subjects covered ...
