Reviews

[Michael @ Knowledge Lost]

This is the perfect example of what James M. Cain is capable of, gritty, minimalistic and fast paced. I’ve read this book before and it was nice to reread. The Postman Always Rings Twice is liked watching a car wreck about to happen; you know that things will get bad, but you may not know what exactly happens. I’m a big fan of Cain; he really is the master of the Noir genre. I remember the movie and it worked really well as a movie; even if there are a few differences the feel of the book translated perfectly. Cain is considered the father of writing some great books like Mildred Pierce and Double Indemnity; but The Postman Always Rings Twice is the best example of what his work.
