Critiques

Set in 1930s Chicago, The Sting is a rough and tumble novel about some con artists who after accidentally scamming a organised crime numbers runner which results in the death of one of their crew seek to pull a larger con to wipe out the culprit in revenge.

The book is a novelisation of the screenplay and from my memory of the movie, is quite a bit coarser language wise.

It's a quick read at 180 pages, so there's not a great deal of depth to the characters, atmosphere or situations yet it is quite entertaining.… (plus d'informations)

After I got to the end, I realized that I must have read this before. Maybe it had a different title. But now that I've seen this edition, I want to see the movie! I would love to see Christopher Plummer as Holmes.

Holmes sets out to discover the identity of Jack the Ripper. Fun book.
