Loren W. Christensen, author of the Dukkha police/thriller series.
The movie, I guess stuck in my subcounsious, because the minute I saw the book in the bookstore, it caught my attention. I read the sleeve and went on through to the first chapter and completely gulped it up. I thought tyo myself "Huh? Was this book really good?" And I guess it was, the style was so much different from the literary adevents that I sually go for, which gave this piece of work a real blast. Ridley excels in creating the noir scenes and passes through them with ease and clarity. He is not very much into details, which makes the book read like a movie script. All I had to do was close my eyes and truly imagine the people. Ridley fails in creating how his characters actually look like, but since the book was made into a movie, all a person would do is know which actors played what. That's a real downsider at first, since it's all much more fun to picture caracters through your own mind's eye and not have it be desensitized by having pictured actors in your head.
This book is great. It's not the best book I have ever read in my life, nor is it the worst. You can, if you're a fast reader and have time on your hands, finish it in less than a day. It's short, way up to the point and the all of the characters seem to stand out as their own.
Now though, I have not watched the movie with my fiance, I can proudly say that I have experienced its feel. One thing that should be put into mind is that both the book and the movie have different endings, so both are a treat.
