Reading the novel helped explain what the writers in the movie really wanted to happen, but got lost by the director during the filming. It helped fill in a lot of blanks and made situations clearer on different characters, including the background of the Thin Man. The book is still on the bubble gum side, but worth a read, especially if you felt lost or disappointed by the movie. There actually was a good story at one time! Too bad it didn't make it to the screen. Unfortunately, the second movie probably killed the franchise, but I would still love to know the outcome of Dylan's possible new love interest in a third movie. Then again, maybe it would be better if they just wrote a third book instead and left it at that!
