I guess the only positive adjective I would give this is that it was a "romp." A pulp fiction book of its time, perhaps the writing is just too simplistic for my taste and the action too tame. The plot seemed too repetitive and actually pretty predictable. I could imagine in my mind how this would've made a good movie, however, by expanding on all the action and love scenes. The characters seemed flat. I knew who was the good guy and who was the bad guy, but I didn't really care. The twist at the end was too convenient.
