Hardboiled private detective against a town full of back stabbing gangsters
Sam Spade is the hard drinking tough detective who finds his client murdered when they were supposed to meet.
Not the Hammett I remember.
Dated material and unlikely coincidences.
An easy, not great, but important read
A bit confusing as it goes on, and a lotta lotta bodies, but easy to read, and one has to give props to the book that actually invented the hard boiled detective style.
A Masterpiece
One of the most important American novels ever written, the beginning of a new genre, and an absolute master work..
A Book Full of Ciphers
I have neither the time nor the interest to list all the reasons I didn't like this book.
Novel Masterpiece
No wonder this endured generations and can underly a universal script.
Hammett doing well what Hammett does so well. 'Nuff said.
The first of the Continental Ops stories, the source for Yojimbo and For a Fistful of Dollars ..
Five Stars
Great read!.
Vintage Hammett!
Great hard-boiled, noir story telling, although I didn't enjoy it quite as much as such classics as The Maltese Falcon and The Thin Man.
Great fun
If you ever wanted to read an iconic "hard boiled detective" book, this is it.
