Review # 1 was written on 2013-12-11 00:00:00 Darren Heil This book came out in September 2001, which is very interesting, considering it has a sub-plot about terrorists planning to bomb "Clarendon Hall" (i.e., Carnegie Hall). The rest of the plot is about cocaine and counterfeit hundred-dollar "super bills," and the publishing firm of Wadsworth and Dodds. Comic relief from "Fat Ollie" Weeks, who is always thinking about food, and always politically incorrect, and soap opera drama from Steve Carella and his relatives. I listened to an unabridged 10 CD edition, but I think it could have been easily abridged to 5 CDs, considering how much repetition and padding it contains. The performer (Garrick Hagon- I may be reviewing the wrong audiobook here) did some accents better than others, and some more consistently than others. His 'straight' voice was very straight indeed. We're talking Dudley Do-right straight. It was a creditable performance. Knowing from the date that Ed McBain, the author of Blackboard Jungle, was forty-five years into his writing career, I may have inferred that this roundabout and leisurely book was the product of old age. "Money, money, money" indeed. Which is not to say I didn't like it.

IMHO, while this book had its moments, invariably revolving around Fat Ollie Weeks, who saves Steve Carella's life not once, but twice, the plot was very far fetched. The basic plot revolved around some seemingly unrelated murders and thefts, involved Mexican drug smuggling and counterfeit $100 bills. The conspiracy part of the plot, the Arab terrorists, and involvement of the Secret Service was a real stretch although the sensational murder by ice pick and lion eating was pretty clever. Also, there was little involvement by the rest of the 87th Precinct.
