FAT OLLIE'S BOOK - Ed McBain
After 40 routine years of the "87th
Precinct", "Money, Money Monjy" was a
revelation - offbeat, cool and funny.
And, alas, a flash-in-the-pan because
the desperately strained sequel
starring serial slob Fat Ollie Weeks
is as cringeworthily over-eager as a
drunken uncle disco dancing.
The "comic" business of Ollie's novel
falls flat, leaving the irony of a bad
cop book about a bad cop book. 2/5
