yendiFrom one of the customer reviews for The Continental Op:
I can easily understand why Dashiell Hammett was so revered as a crime/thriller writer in his day but, sadly, the stories and the language are so dated that for me, they affect the impact and enjoyment of the tale.
I shudder to think what would happen if this poor girl were to attempt to read, say, Pride and Prejudice or Hamlet.
