4.0 out of 5 stars 'English Student Takes Pleasure In Required Reading' Shocker, 1 April 2001
By A Customer
Corruption and subterfuge drag Hammett far from the platitudes spouted by many books of this genre, and of course'The Maltese Falcon' rises above even its illustrious big screen counterpart of '41. York university made me read it, but I'd recommend it to a fish salesman from Tahiti.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hardboiled brilliance, 29 Jun 2009
By Atticus273 (West Yorkshire, England) - See all my reviews
This is a great compendium. The contrast of having Dash's early work involving the Continental Operative and his later, more polished, Sam Spade material in one book is pure genius. The 'Op is all you could ask for in terms of prohibtion grit whereas Spade paves the way for later writers like Chandler. Exciting stories that never bore; makes you want to grab your hat, a blackjack and a .38 special and clean up this town!
