And yucky you, you got to read "Memory" before I did . . . but I did manage to post a review of my own at: http://www.redroom.com/articlestory/memory-lane-closed-until-further-notice<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Thomas BurchfieldThomas Burchfieldhttp://www.redroom.com/member/thomas-burchfieldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36271824.post-48857431972679310232010-03-08T05:34:23.902-08:002010-03-08T05:34:23.902-08:00Thanks for writing this, Ed.

I can't wait to read this one.Thomas Kaufmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13836968448269161562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36271824.post-41796594443954145672010-01-25T21:12:22.388-08:002010-01-25T21:12:22.388-08:00Nice one, Ed.

After Blackbird and Plunder Squad, I ended bittersweet with Butcher's Moon.<br /><br />Makes me want to start all over again from the beginning. But if this one carries with it a lil' P. K. Dick, I'll just have to wait for the right madness of Westlake's Memory.Matt Howlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36271824.post-35445983296584786812010-01-25T11:42:28.935-08:002010-01-25T11:42:28.935-08:00Westlake had the skill to write anything he wanted...Westlake had the skill to write anything he wanted and I sometimes wondered why he'd never written a "literary" crime novel (like "The Red Right Hand" or "They Shoot Horses Don't They" or Willeford's "Pick Up.") I've been anxious to read this since Hard Case announced it.Dan_Lufthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096055160420981482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36271824.post-46111542522960805182010-01-25T06:15:16.007-08:002010-01-25T06:15:16.007-08:00Dave beat me to it, but I was going to say that I&...Dave beat me to it, but I was going to say that I've never read this book but it would have to be something truly extraordinary to be better than The Ax.Debnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36271824.post-13088080434934290212010-01-24T15:09:27.596-08:002010-01-24T15:09:27.596-08:00Ed, the book sounds great.
