I borrowed it from the library today, and geez was it good. The plot twists and turns at every step--really makes me wanna read the book.
my first Film Noir... i very much like it. i enjoy Humphrey Bogart's acting in it... he's very smooth in his delivery. and yeah, that twist was so well formed shh... i dunno 'bout the book, let's hope you will not be disappointed!
I hate to used cliches, but much as I loved the movie, the book was better. IT was edgier (the torture scenes there were dropped from the movie, for example).
