Items related to Fat Ollie's Book
This book successfully combines humour and suspense, and inter-twines the two plots (Weeks and Carella) in a way that takes us on a journey that is as humorous as it is intriguing. The contrast between the two central 'cop' characters is also entertaining - Carella the quiet, professional family man, and Weeks, the short tempered, foul-mouthed racist. As usual, McBain's punchy style and well-characterised plot moves us on in true 'page-turner' fashion. A very good, undemanding read, which keeps us guessing and laughing in equal measure. well up to the very high standard I've come to expect from this iconic crime writer.

Review:
"Booklist" Wonderful entertainment.
"People" Ed McBain is, by far, the best at what he does. Case closed.
"Publishers Weekly" McBain is so good he ought to be arrested.
