I am having a very hard time reviewing The Postman Always Rings Twice. It's main characters, Frank and Cora, are despicable and unlikable, which they have to be, and only Nick Papadakis gives the story someone we can identify with. I found the American slang a bit hard to follow sometimes (but that's probably just me as I am not very familiar with it), the plot was quite predictable and the dialogue a bit corny in places. The ending is not exactly unexpected but completely satisfying in that justice is served in a convoluted sort of way.
I am glad that I read this book which ventured into topics that were considered taboo at the time it was written but I cannot say that I enjoyed very much.
