review 1: This collection is not as good as I was hoping, but perhaps I expect too much. There are some humorous moments in the dialogue for sure but the mystery plots themselves seem too contrived to be even remotely believable, and that is something that I cannot abide without disappointment.Note that there are two books contained herein plus an 8-page outline for a third. I say 'books' but the main two works are screenplays. They include a few asides indicating important points for the production of the films.I do, however, believe this to be an important work due to the relatively large cultural impact of Hammett's work in aggregate.
review 2: Recently I have been on a Pulp novel, hard-boiled detective story kick. I began with the Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler, and t... morehen began the Thin Man. Both were very well done and you can just imagine the black and white movies that subsequently occurred after both books. This sequel to the Thin Man by Dashiell Hammett was no exception. Filled with witty dialogue and a complex series of murders its no wonder that the movies based on these stories were so popular with audiences and still resonate with movie goers today. Its great to be able to read Hammett's clever words that spawned such a great series. less
