This is a reread. Sometimes I just feel like doing nothing bur escaping into a book. Finding myself in that state this Sunday, I first started reading The Yiddish Policemen’s Union, but after a while I decided that it was too much work for my mood and picked up the Matt Helm book. I have all of them (20+), I’ve read them all before (in order, believe it or not!), they are total escapism. Like Bond, but without the glamor (even less glamor than the Fleming books themselves, much less the movies). Anyway Revengers is one of the better ones, and a few hours and 350 pages later, it was time for bed… If you like this sort of thing, this is the kind of thing you’ll like.
