Good, if a bit odd

Lawrence Block is one of those guys who apparently write at the speed of sound, or something. He's now got three series that I know of going, the dark but interesting Matt Scudder private eye series, Bernie Rhodenbarr, the burglar turned used bookstore owner, and of course the series starring ...

Hard Boiled a classic

+ Attractive Presentation. Format for Quotes Could Be Better.

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.

Charming

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 ...
