It was a quick, entertaining read.
I know that this is pulp fiction from ages ago, so I didn't go into this book looking for the greatest piece of literature ever written. I was looking for it to be entertaining and not much depth. That's what's here. So all in all, I was satisfied.
What didn't really get me into the story was the main character. For a detective, who's trying to take down an apparent zombie master and his undead minions, he shouldn't have gotten himself captured multiple times and knocked out so often in only just over 100 pages. Also, I knew who the bad guy was in the first few chapters. It wasn't a case of the reader knowing more than the character, either. All the facts were in his face.
But still, it was a good way to spend the afternoon.
