1.0 out of 5 stars A very unrewarding effort, 15 Aug 2005
By A Customer
I've had three stabs at reading this title and all have had me wondering what point there is continuing past the first thirty pages. The author's style is unfortunately too drab to interest and the characters drawn in such a way that time spent in their company is both depressing and wasteful. Mentioning Elmore Leonard in the same breath is not only ludicrous but wholly inaccurate as Leonard has immense style and knows exactly what he's doing. Its unfortunate that the previous reviews led me to expect much more. My copy is now on its way to join the others on the 'used' lists.

5.0 out of 5 stars In defence and defiance, 18 April 2006
By Ignatius Z Reilly (Levy Pants Ltd) - See all my reviews
Dear Sirs,
I would like to again congratulate the author Jerry Raine on another triumph. This novel is not only witty but gritty.
Any pitiful peon or "reader" (if the following "reviewer" can in fact be called that without my offending the validity of the Oxford Dictionary's definition of "reader") who does not enjoy this entertaining extravaganza of crime at the coalface has no comprehension of the world outside their peonic existence.

If this work of literary genius is of such a level as to offend the palates of those less evolved beings I suggest they read Boethius or even some Batman comics before they attempt any further career in liter
