RARA-AVIS: The Ax

Sat, 14 Feb 1998 05:59:53 -0800 (PST) Speaking of mixed reviews on Amazon.com, has anyone else here read
Westlake's _The Ax_? I read it with admiration and awe throughout,
but I noticed that although the professional critics noted on Amazon
all praised it, some readers genuinely and heartily disliked it. Did
anyone else here feel the same?

I hope this isn't OT. Although _The Ax_ isn't traditional hard-boiled
detective fiction, and is set in suburbia, it's subject matter and the
way it's handled qualifies it as HB, in my opinion.

And speaking of Westlake, what did everyone think of _Comeback_?
