Title: a howler
Product review: This book is bad-- it occupies a territory somewhere between bad Ludlum and The Destroyer novels. Many of the situations are ludicrous, and it should have won some sort of Bulwer-Lytton award for some of its writing-- the line about the truck driver performing a tracheotomy on the 70-year-old nun with a Swiss army knife had me on the floor convulsed with laughter, as did the final, wildly improbably line (which I'll let you discover for yourself). I even wrote to Bill Pronzini, saying that if he should ever write another Gun in Cheek book, this and The Pledge (see my review) should be prime candidates for inclusion.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
