Quite surprising and enjoyable - I'm mostly familiar with Lawrence Block's early work. This book is certainly different than anything I've read up to this point. I am curious if this book is representative of others he had written during this time, as it is longer (over 400 pages,) featuring a strong character-driven narrative.

Enough Block-isms to keep me reading, but soft-core porn disguised as literature is not really my thing.

Not one of Block's best. Interesting character studies, but no real sense of plot, and the sex isn't particularly sexy.
