An enjoyable read. I enjoyed the human side of the hero with his many thoughts about his life and his decision making in this dire situation. While I did really enjoy this thriller, I did find the movie even better, where the best parts of the book were retained with additional action and thrills added to make a great action movie. Worth a read.
Another great Jim Thompson book. I really enjoyed the black comedy and satire that filled this story. I enjoyed reading it as much as the other two Thompson books I read but I was a little underwhelmed by the ending which prevented me from giving it 5 stars. Still extremely enjoyable and I will continue to seek out more Thompson books.
