This is hardly the first bad review of a Mickey Spillane novel. OTTH, the last Mike hammer book wasn't all that. But the guy is still a giant, and I give him a lot of respect for continuing to do what he does in a world that no longer encourages it. sh on 1/13/04 7:56 AM, Ken Waxman at mingusaum@yahoo.ca wrote:
Picking up a thread from last week:
For those interested, Micky Spillane has just published a new novel called Something's Down There. But at 86, it seems that his best work is behind him,
Here are the first and last sentences of the review from the (Toronto) Glone & Mail:
"Possbily the most remarkable thing about this novel is that it is written by the real Spillane" ...
"Older readers will have a nostalgai hit. Younger ones will wonder why there was so much fuss over I, the Jury and Kiss Me Deadly."
