Standard stuff, but it keeps you reading,
By
This review is from: Firebug (Paperback)
After reading books like The Kidnapper and Psycho, you cannot read Firebug and feel a bit let down. I mean I guessed the ending, and to do it on book by a writer respected for his cracker jack twist endings, well it's a little disappointing. But what makes the book worthwhile is Bloch's talent for getting you deep inside the psychotic mind. That alone is worth the price of any admission ticket.

Shouting FIRE In A Crowded Paperback,
By
This review is from: Firebug (Paperback)
This feels like a Cornell Woolrich noir potboiler: neurotic hero struggles with weirdos to uncover a mystery. Who's the culprit? Might it even be... HIMSELF?? Bloch is always fun to read, and this gives good pulp value for money-- the stuff about cults (our protagonist's area of expertise) is amusing, and the improbable plot twists (well, plot devices) keep things tumbling along until the finale. Everyone's a suspect! A bit dated (published in 1964), it's still fun-- suspend disbelief and keep tongue placed firmly in cheek while reading.
