This novel is one of the pulpiest of pulp fiction, with garish characters, kitschy dialogues and an uncomplicated plot, meant to provide some escapist fun. It is very entertaining, provided one does not mind a big dose of male chauvinism. I read it knowing what to expect and I wasn't disappointed. But the biggest problem I had is with the editing of this translated version, or I should say non-editing. If the publisher of this book is reading my review, by any chance, I would like to offer my editing services at a very very low price. Please, get the book edited by someone who knows at least basic english before publishing it... ( )
