A review by nick_jenkins
The Hot Rock by Donald E. Westlake

3.0

I can definitely see why some people like the Dortmunder books but even if Westlake managed to improve on this novel’s pacing (which was pretty soggy, or saggy, or sloggy, or slack), I’m not sure I’ll ever love the mashup of Borscht Belt and gunbelt. Mel Brooks could do it, but not just anyone.
