Title: The Thin Man by Dashell Hammet
Review: First of all, anybody who's read any of my reviews, knows I love the old hardboiled detectives from the thirties and fourties. These guys had to use thier brains, not some hidden camera, DNA, whatever the latest CSI science gimic is.Since none of this existed when Dash was arround, he never even thought of it. It has brilliant character developement thru out. You can even see "the Thin man" even though he never makes an appearence. My habit is the listen to it initially to hear the story, plot, etc. Then immediately listen to it a couple more times to see if there are any gafts, errors, etc. There are none. The only thing I'm not sure of is why a sudden narative on a wild west cannibal even though Dash does fit it in for no apparent reason. It has nothing to do with the story.The narrative is excellent, the story is classic. And if you think, you'll justwatch the movie instead, you'll miss a lot. The movie is different, even though it is good also.
Is the review positive or negative?
