e_l_thompson's review against another edition
I understand that a part of this book takes place in the 1940's. Still, I did not appreciate the derogatory language, swearing, or vulgar descriptions. Also, I felt the narration was overdone. Davidson aimed for tough and mysterious, film nior, but his cadence often distracted from the storyline and left me confused as to who the characters were and how they related to one another.

riverestyx's review against another edition
I was reading this for a book club and it's just so far out of my tastes and I stopped reading it. It's not a bad book. Just didn't reel me in as someone not into that genre
