Greetings from France. This is a nice site. Does anyone have any advice on staying out of the friend zone with women? I’m really tired of women telling me they just want to be friends. Perhaps I’m being too much of a nice guy?

I agree, Spillane’s Mike Hammer formula gets old quickly. I also read “I the Jury”, but I prefer “My Gun is Quick”.

Oddly, I picked up and read an omnibus of his in Madrid last month. The collection contained three of his books, with ‘Kiss Me Deadly’ at the back. I read them straight and was a bit tired by the third one. Spillane says he wrote his novels when he needed the bucks. His first book was ‘I The Jury’ which I’ve got somewhere lying around the house in paperback. Apparently Mike Hammer started out as ‘Mike Danger’, cartoon character, and evolved.
So - he was always going to be a bit on the ‘pulp’ side.
