I described the novel as funny because some character interactions that made me laugh. The main detective is quite a character which results in some numerous reacts of other characters. The main character can also be an idiot sometimes, especially with women, and I enjoyed joining other characters in laughing at him.Â
I did knock down the review a bit because while a great story, the result of being an old novel means that there are some things that make it unenjoyable to read. For instance there is some racism and the n-word is used once. For reference, it is minimal in comparison to other classic novels I've read, but it still affected by reading experience when it happened.Â
