Kiss Me Deadly

Rating:
Summary: great CD
Review: Ignore the review on here for a Mickey Spillane book. This is a Lita Ford CD and it's great.

Summary: Completely Incomprehensible Ending
Review: Kiss Me Deadly finds Mike Hammer confronting the Mafia over stolen narcotics. But this isn't the Mafia of the Godfather or the Sopranos. Spillane pictures them as a secret shadowy organization like the Illuminati or the Elders of Zion.
The last Mickey Spillane novel in the omnibus Five Complete Mike Hammer Novels (and therefore the last Spillane novel I will ever read), starts as an improvement on the last three (which all seemed like a rehash of I, The Jury). However the ending is completely incoherent. The fate of one character that had gone missing is never dealt with. One main characters' identity is proven to be false but it's never explained who she is. Spillane is, in common with a lot of the hardboiled genre, rather sparse on description and explication, but whole plot points are ignored or left unanswered.

Rating:
Summary: Exciting pulp
Review: Salacious heavy-metal pulp, bubbling over with post-teenage tension and pseudo-intense grooves. It's a keeper, a B+ collection that will whet your appetite for more. C'mon pretty baby, kiss me deadly!
