Is there any book by Adams that you can recommend as
particulary "stomach-turning"? I guess your remark was not
really ment as a compliment but it does at least sound
interesting. Over the last five years or so I have started
three of his books
(The Private Eye, Contraband and a few days ago, after he was
compared with Huggins in this group, Sabotage) but never came
further than about 30 or 50 pages because I was so utterly
bored. I found his dialogues most unconvincing and the
atmosphere
(if there was any) failed to grip me at all. Just my opinion
of course...
I would agree in re Gruber though: Good entertainment
indeed.
