Movie Favorite

"Perhaps the noirest of noir films, and for my money one of the three best American films of the postwar period (the others being Some Like It Hot and Sunset Boulevard). Featuring amazing performances from Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis, and a knife-edge bitterness rare in any Hollywood film, it is at once a tribute to nighttime New York City and a devastating portrait of the power of a big-time columnist like Walter Winchell."

I didn't enjoy this quite as much as Ian's story. Ian had a sort of cocky inner voice and a way of coming across that I really loved. No offense to our hot geek but I didn't get as good a vibe from him. But then again this being written in dual POV made their relationship growth a lot easier to follow.

I did enjoy this a lot though and look forward to reading more books by the author.

2.5 stars.

I can't say I ever really gelled with this story, I struggled with it from the start but it was only after the half way point when it went from 3 star (like) to a 2 star (okay). I lost interest with the hot and cold routine on Macklin's side and then when it finally got around to the sex I more or less skipped it because their relationship had lost all interest for me.
