Action packed, but probably not one his better ones...

Having read all of the novels before this one, i have experienced his better novels as well as the lesser ones. Booze, broads and bullets is a great read full of Miller's trademark rather sadistic approach. The structure of this book however is different to his others; rather than being just the one story that carries on for the entire book, it is instead a series of small sub-stories all of which involving the lesser characters involve din the earlier novels. Characters such as Fat Man and Little Boy and Lucille have little stories based around them. The stories are good and at times with a bit of humour to them, however the inclusion of these stories seem to be rather out of context. As the other stories tended to link in with one another, these just sit on their own. Perhaps it is good to tie up the loose ends of the smaller characters but again it doesn't feel as if the book flows. All that aside this is still a decent enough read even in spite of its shortness (only 151 pages). I would still recommend its purchase.
