5.0 out of 5 stars Highlights heretofore unknown aspects of the American character
Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2016
Verified Purchase
An excellent analysis of material that I venture to guess is unfamiliar to most people, and which makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of the American character as well to the appreciation of stories involving private investigators.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2016
Verified Purchase
This was an interesting read; one of the things that made it so interesting was that it is a sort of literary time-capsule of the political thoughts and ideals of the English Lit crowd from the time period during which it was written.
