Couldn't get past the 1st chapter. Too full of self pity and brooding introspection.
Classic mystery...Good as ever.
I thought it was time I read something by Norman Mailer. I picked this book. 1st mistake. I really tried to like it, got to page 33, quit. Picked it up again. 2nd mistake, got to page 66. Finally did something right and gave it up. Luckily it is a library book, so nothing lost. Maybe I'll try another one by him, but I just don't get it. Don't recommend it.
After reading this, I see how he got a good reputation; he can pull you into a story pretty quick, and he kind of catches the poor-slob macho view of life.
Raw Norman Mailer mystery.
