Ti ucciderò by Mickey Spillane

Wow. This was horribly ponderous.
Lacking style, subtlety or any real characterization, the story plods on like the power fantasy of a halfwit teenage sociopath. Now this isn't necessarily a bad thing, as trash can be fun, but in this case the whole thing is so damned DULL it fails at being even a guilty pleasure. The dialogue is just bad, not even laughably so. The reveal at the end is tedious, the killer obvious, the motive silly.
There is much better "hard-boiled" pulp fiction out there, and I'm surprised at the level of respect afforded this tripe.
