  • Graham Greene Masterpiece: Brighton Rock

    Seen the film many times. The book is even better. Graham Greene writes with perfect understanding and skill of the mind-set of all the characters: Pinkie Brown, the seventeen-year-old gang leader; Ida the heroine seeking justice; Rose, the young girl besotted with Pinkie ... Everything is engrossing in this mid-20th century tale of Brighton as it once was. A true page-turner, brilliantly written.
