The Postman Always Rings Twice by James M. Cain
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A very tight novel that slices away to the core. Cracker jack writing and good plot. The characters are pretty stark, leaving the imagination to fill in a lot. Same true for the book itself. Even the settings, critical for parts of the book are pretty loose, but the writing
Two pages covers what could have been 100 pages. So much written in few words. Very impressive.
The tale unfolds with speed and with darkness. Written with skill hardly seen these days.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 8 out of 10 points.
