before u go jumping to conclusions, lemme tell ya'll that's the title of the second book in the Crime Novels (Volume I) collection. it's written by Horace McCoy. and it's a great novel.
it primarily focuses on two main characters, Robert and Gloria, who run into each other, and become friends. soon, they enter a dance marathon.
the marathon is quite well-described, a drama within itself, but, at the same time, not too dramatic.
and all this time, slowly, but steadily, Gloria is quietly going into depression.
but the real fun begins when Robert gets affected by Gloria's moods swings.
slowly, inevitably, Gloria drives Robert towards an unexpected climax.
pretty good, but not all of ya may like it.
well, i start with the third novel tomorrow. it's titled Thieves Like Us. sounds cool, huh?
