I'm about a quarter of the way through ... Harvey is something else! (What else I'm not sure, but definitely something else) I've been alternating between wincing, cheering, and saying "Oh, Harvey Mapes, no!" (in the elevator, all three at once) He's just so ... Harvey. I'm fond of the same TV shows that hapless Harvey is, and of hard-boiled P.I. stories, so I'm just loving the collision between fantasy and reality as it plays out on Harvey's aching ribs.

Hmmm ... y'know, this book might make a great TV pilot!
