About Donald Westlake:  As a whole, his work is excellent (DANCING AZTECS
is my personal favorite), but there have been occasional clunkers.  The
prime example of this being TWO MUCH.  In most Westlake novels, the
hero(ine)(s) are changed in some way for the better by their (usually
odd) experiences.  In TWO MUCH, though, there is minimal humor, and at
the end of the book the narrator is still the greedy scum he was on page 1.
