Review: Not the best

Should have realized from the begining when the character was named "Marlow" that this wasn't going to be the best e-book I've read. He drinks, he wants to quit smoking, drives an old car- nothing new here. The piano player in the bar plays a Hoagy tune while his reporter friend quotes from Casablanca, pretty trite. Although the book had some action to it, those scenes came off as stilted and not to realistic. I'm thinking this could have been a better book if there was some humor thrown into it, but alas- there was none. One other thing- lay off the exclamation points. A lot of the chapters end with an exclamation point and throughout the book they were thrown in to make the reader think this was an exciting point in the story. If you need an exclamation point to do that, it's not going to work anyways.
