Reader Reviews
2 of 3 people found the following review helpful: Fans of "Miller's Crossing" Will Love This, Its Inspiration, January 13, 2003 Reviewer: Chris Ward from Costa Rica This is not only one of Hammett's best books, but the obvious inspiration for the Coen Brothers' film "Miller's Crossing." Its cynical, nasty view of corrupt city politics is refreshingly contemporary, and the book stands as one of the best of the 20s/30s all by itself, even today-- but film fans will get an extra kick out of the Coen's wholesale appropriation of language and characters as well. After "Red Harvest," this is my favorite Hammett. Well worth reading every few years.
