Yeah, I've read Brighton Rock ~~and seen both film versions~~. Pretty good book. Helps if you know a bit about what England was like at the time. There's a bit of Catholic nonsense in the story but it can just be read as a bit of a seedy underworld plot / cynical doomed romance without losing anything.

That's all

I really enjoyed The Power and the Glory. Probably the book I enjoyed most by him.
A Gun for Sale and Brighton Rock were entertaining too.

I’ve only read The Quiet American—which I quite liked—and have been wondering if any of his other novels are as good. What are his best works?
