Customer Reviews

Great Hard Boiled Detective, but w/ lots of humor

I read this book in college as part of a course on Detective Fiction. The professor (I believe) offered it along w/ Chandler and Dashiell Hammett as the quintescential anti-hero of the era. What I remember most was that while attempting to solve the case, the shamus seizes every opportunity to "party" for lack of a better word. Very funny, very well written.
