Delightful, I say. Though the pedantic telling via listing of all characteristics grows dull, there are many an enjoyable turn of phrase and a number of wonderful little moments tween Sam and any number of the girls.

Page 108 gives an absolutely divine description of Mr. Gutman, and 109 quickly gives us two great quotes by the man. Ah, the joys of a simpler time.

now that all the descriptive list narratives are out of the way, the book's moving along quite smartly with terrific dialogue and intrigue. I can't help always mentally picturing Bogie as Spade, and I think it works marvelously both ways. I think Hammett did a right fine job with Detective Sergeant Polhaus also.
