Review title: Shocking snorefest
Product review: After seeing both great movies this was based on, I was shocked at how dull the writing is. Interesting on a thematic level (as one reviewer was generous enough to put it), but otherwise this is strictly by-the-numbers. Absolutely NOTHING happens until the last 20 pages and even then the action is scant. Maybe this was hot stuff back in the day, but I found it one of the most overblown books I had ever read and not enjoyable at all. It reads like the type of pulp crap that many writers churned out back then for a quick buck, but others like Thompson, Willeford and Westlake did better (I think). Beware...you have been warned!
