Title: Solid Noir Goodness
Review: I read a bunch of reviews of this saying it was a satire, and while I can see some satirical elements, I chose to just read it as a straight pulp novel. And it succeeded on that level. It's a good, solid slice of Noir. Interesting characters, lots of guns, backstories, interlocking arcs; all sorts of things to contribute to turning pages quickly to see what happens next.Not a classic of modern literature, but I really don't think that's the point. I plan on picking up his other books, and already turned one friend onto this one.
