It's what I ordered and wanted, a good copy of the book. I wanted to see what the book was like, what it was about, how it compared to the movie. I'm not going to try to be a critic, telling you whether it's a good book. That's a matter of opinion and taste. Read reviews. It's different and interesting, what this author focuses on in his descriptions.

It is a rare occurrence when the movie so closely follows the book. I enjoyed the read and could visualize the film unfolding as I read.

Suprisingly enough being a pulp fan this is the first time that I had actually read the story. It is an engaging story but nothing singular about it. Sam Spade is not as sympathetic a charactor in the story as Bogart made him out to be in the movie. I think this is one of those rare instaces that the movie was much beteer that the book. "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and "Angels and Demons" and yes I now that the Bogart movie was the third adaptation of the story. Any way Hammett's style holds up well and it is a shame that he did not write more Spade stories.
Thanks for the great value on a great book
