REVIEW: The Maltese Falcon

Title: The Maltese Falcon
Author: Dashiell Hammett
Finished: April 23, 2011
Pages: 224
Published: 1930
Format: audiobook

My first 1,001 book in quite some time (I actually finished this review and it didn’t save so here I am starting from scratch again).

A great book, adapted to film, very interesting and intriguing.

I listed to this one on audiobook as a dramatization versus regular audio and it kept my attention for every minute.

The general premise is that a private detective and his partner are approached by a woman who wants them to follow an unknown man. At every turn they become more suspicious of her true intentions.

Highly recommend this one!
