"Jesus God! is this the first thing you guys ever stole? You're a fine lot of lollipops! What are you going to do next--get down and pray?" Again, this reads like satire.

Another great turn of phrase by Hammett! Treasures from the noir trove!
I love how his characters speak.

I understand the importance of this book as one of the first "hardboiled" crime novels but it's just so on the nose that it reads like a satire of a hardboiled crime novel!!!
