Read this for a class. I enjoyed it, and it was well-written, but I never warmed up to the main character. I don’t believe anyone can honestly warm up to this main character, but I also believe, Hammett wanted it that way. This is definitely a crime mystery classic, and it’s worth the read if you ever get the chance. However, it was certainly not my favorite book....more
Wonderful book on brokenness. I’d never read this author before, but I knew a professor who recommended it very highly. I bought a copy, and I finallyWonderful book on brokenness. I’d never read this author before, but I knew a professor who recommended it very highly. I bought a copy, and I finally got around to reading it. Though short in length, it is powerful, and I highly recommend this for everyone, not just Christian readers!
SECOND TIME READING UPDATE: Still an excellent book, I may have enjoyed it more this time than last. It certainly caused me to evaluate some aspects of my life. My five-star rating is unchanged. Like last time, I highly recommend and will probably read it a third time!...more

A wonderful book in a truly outstanding series, The Essence of Malice was wonderful!
I love Amory and Milo, and their relationship dynamic. Their relationship is truly unique, and I like seeing Milo try to remedy his past wrongs. However, I feel that after the tension that permeated their relationship in the first two books left, the strength of their relationship has started going downhill. It is in no way detrimental to the book, but it's just something I've started noticing.
I loved the mystery, it was well put together, and solid. The Belanger family was well-written and I really hope that they reappear in the next book. I loved the change of pace in Paris, also.
Overall excellent, I highly recommend this book and this series!...more
