It's a bit dated, but enjoyable nonetheless. (  )tgraettinger | Jun 16, 2009 |   I came to this novel with high expectations having seen the complimentary things written about these stories recently following Westlake's death. Unfortunately, it left me rather cold and I have to say I find Harlen Coben's Myron Bolitar series much funnier and frankly better written. Perhaps this was just a bad example of his stories? (  )edwardsgt | Feb 25, 2009 | Without giving anything away, it's the little bit of unexpected and unresolved at the end that makes what felt like a exercise in gimmickery turn out to be worthwhile after all. (  )cdogzilla | Jan 25, 2009 | knepveu | Jan 4, 2009 | The Hot Rock is a delightfully funny caper story, or, rather six different capers, as Dortmunder and his team of eccentrics try to get their hands on the rock. Westlake's dialog and pacing are exemplary; this is one of those books where you read for a bit and suddenly realize that twenty or thirty pages have flown by. Highly recommended.
