Forget the blurbs,
This review is from: Violent Saturday (Paperback)
It's a shame that the book jacket markets it as just another blood-and-guts crime book. Blurbs like 'Violence'Blood-smeared and naked.' and 'the punch of a sledge hammer' do more harm than good.Yeah, the book is about a bank robbery. Yeah, there's a bit of blood. But those things are not the key to the genius of the book. That key is the dialog. More than half the book is dialog. The plot jumps through its incredible use. No wonder it was made into a movie. It's everything a movie should be. Action, character development, plot, atmosphere, everything is carried, and carried amazingly well, by the dialog. Too bad this book will end up only on the shelves of hard-boiled fans. It should be required reading in Script-writing 101. |
