Seen in Season 2, episode 9 of Night Court.
The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
To start with, I have never seen the movie so I did not have to worry about comparing the book to it.
That being said, I found the book "eh" at most. I went in knowing that the book was written as pulp noir in the 30's so there was going to be a lot of tropes, stereotypes and misogynistic views. Even with all that, I think I may have pulled a muscles from the force of the eye rolls I did throughout the listening.
I pretty much called the it from the start - who did it, why they did it and all that. I can't say I was entertained or have become at all interested in seeing the movie.
There were points where I totally tuned out while listening to the book and realized I honestly did not really care at all what I had missed.
I guess if you like Detective Noir, this is a book for you. But as it's not a genre that I am pulled to, it was not for me.
