Title: DECENT FOR A PULP NOVEL BUT BELOW THOMPSON
Review: This is one of the few letdowns I've had reading Jim Thompson. His typical razor sharp plot is more meandering and desparate in this retleeing of Crime And Punishment. If you're looking to get into Jim Thompson check out the Killer Inside Me for a good intro. Also, if you like Jim Thompson you'll probably also like David Goodis his stuff is Ultra-Dark.
