Great concept, decent plot, painful execution. Still, a quick little bit of fantasy-noir junk food -- a literary White Castle slider.

I finally read this book since I wasn't forced to in High School. I liked it. It was a very interesting take on society and society laws and why we have them.

Tien Pao is a Chinese boy who is swept away by a fierce current in a sampan with only a pig for a companion.
was just ok but fast reading
It's relatively easy to write a biography about someone who is well documented, but these two authors had to dig - make that excavate the center of the earth - for every fact, story, and photo they found of Jim Tully, a celebrity author time too swiftly forgot. Both the persistence and the writing itself show it for what it was -- a labor of love, done not for the quick dollar, or instant celebrity, but because they were compelled to do it. Somehow this unschooled writer of tough guy tales grabbed them both by the collar and pleaded his case until they agreed to take him on. When I began reading this book I knew little to nothing about Jim Tully except that his ancestral roots and Ohio background mimic my own. But now, having finished it, I will never hear the name Jim Tully again without being flooded with myriad images and the haunting wish that if life were fair the road would have risen a little higher to meet him. The authors compare him to Hemingway with one important difference. Hemingway wrote tough guy stuff in an idealized tough guy way; Tully wrote tough guy stuff as men really are. And so perhaps that is why one enjoys immortality and the other must be resurrected. A grand book.

I really enjoyed this book, something different from anything else I had read.
I have never seen the movie based on this book, but had a good idea about the workings of the noir genre when I picked it up. This book is THE detective story, Sam Spade is THE detective - every detective story written since has traces of The Maltese Falcon in it. Sometimes, when I read something that's set the bar for all others after it, I'm left feeling a bit let down - sure, it was groundbreaking when it came out, but others have done it better since. With The Maltese Falcon, I'm left really, really satisfied - not only is this the book by which other detective stories are modeled, it's a timeless story with interesting, likable, complicated characters that feels fresh nearly 80 years after it was written. It's a quick read, a fun story and I recommend it to anyone who loves San Francisco and fog and dames and whiskey and murder and fops and thugs and all the other trappings of tales that take place on dark nights in cities that know how to keep their secrets.
