As always sharp smart witty and political

Even in the most minimal of stories the mark of a very clever, very funny, very sober mind.

Cleaning Up Gathom City

Scudder works with a crew that stops illegal street vendors selling unlicensed Batman gear on street corners.

Block is the best mystery writer ever
I love give his books as gifts to my friends

Succinct, but *too* subtle

Scudder is sent out as part of a trademark enforcement force in NYC, but doesn’t last. The conclusion errs towards subtlety — why he quits isn’t exactly why he *says* he quits.

Block reads the story himself...good to hear him, but man he sounds his age.

So bad even 30 minutes more was too long

We love Batman. We love everything about Batman. This is sort of about Batman, but more about fake Batman merchandise and scaring the immigrant street vendors that sell the stuff. About a few minutes in we just could not get into it and it didn't seem worth our time.
