Watch the film right after reading the book, and you'll be astonished at just how closely they stuck to the source. Even when the dialogue isn't word-for-word, the condensation is practically seamless.<br /> The whole series is like that. <br />My only regret is that they didn't get around to "Gambit". I would have paid to see the opening, with Wolfe burning the dictionary - wouldn't you?Mike Dorannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36271824.post-11457159730476533452010-06-11T00:19:54.676-07:002010-06-11T00:19:54.676-07:00The Doorbell Rang!

I've read everything of his that I've been able to find in print--he has a few literary/thriller novels after 'How Like a God' that I haven't been able to find. I love Nero Wolfe, I love Stout's writing. While Hammett's my favorite, I still think Stout is the best pure writer I've seen in the mystery spaceDave Zeltsermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007736514118297783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36271824.post-42709220436514748702010-06-10T14:55:58.430-07:002010-06-10T14:55:58.430-07:00Stout is on my short list: Hammett, Chandler, Spil...Stout is on my short list: Hammett, Chandler, Spillane, Stout, Christie.Max Allan Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00867456003618637948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36271824.post-77530055687121025082010-06-10T14:36:25.369-07:002010-06-10T14:36:25.369-07:00I love the Wolfe novels.
