4.0 out of 5 stars
Powerful, Unreleting, deeply flawed
Woolrich's incomplete novel of despair, revenge, and even love, takes the reader deep into the darkess abyss. Unfortunately, the novel was never completed and a discordently happy ending was appended to it. Nonetheless it is a fascinating novel: what would make a women take up her victim's life and enact retribution on those who had harmed her in her life? All Woolrich...

Flawed But Fascinating
Into the Night has some sustained sections of very good writing that immerses you in the Cornell Woolrich world of depair and evil. And for the most part Lawrence Block does an admirable job in filling in the missing sections of the book. Some of his passages truly fit seamlessly with Woolrich's.

By Robert Meyers (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Into the Night (Paperback)
Woolrich's incomplete novel of despair, revenge, and even love, takes the reader deep into the darkess abyss. Unfortunately, the novel was never completed and a discordently happy ending was appended to it. Nonetheless it is a fascinating novel: what would make a women take up her victim's life and enact retribution on those who had harmed her in her life? All Woolrich fans should definitely read this book: it is Woolrich in the 1960's -this time as gory and graphic as he could get away with.

This review is from: Into the Night (Paperback)
Into the Night has some sustained sections of very good writing that immerses you in the Cornell Woolrich world of depair and evil. And for the most part Lawrence Block does an admirable job in filling in the missing sections of the book. Some of his passages truly fit seamlessly with Woolrich's.But the decision to attach a happy ending is unfortunate and very unsatisfying. Maybe Woolrich left the novel undone because he didn't have an ending, or he knew that a happy one would ring false. I don't think anybody knows. As it is the book's end simply undercuts all that came before, so it is hard for me to really recommend this book to anybody other than a Woolrich fan who wants to read everything by the author. You can find more book reviews by me by searching for ''goldenrulecomics'' on squidoo. |
