"I think that in order to have liked this book more I would have to a)be a bigger fan of mystery novels and b)have read it BEFORE seeing the movie "Angel Heart". The movie was a VERY good adaptation, so I didn't get the surprise at the end that those who read the book first would have.
I was intrigued by the changes that the movie DID make. The entire story takes place in New York; New Oleans isn't even mentioned as far as I remember. And the mysterious Mr. Cyphre has a much bigger role in the book, appearing several times as a big-time mystic/professional speaker, and a two-bit (although shockingly talented) magician at a falling down flea circus. I think most of what was cut out of the book when making the movie was fairly unnecessary, although I would have liked to see included the scene in an abandoned subway station of a Black Mass, lit only by candles and the flashes of subway cars roaring past.
What struck me most about this book was that it almost seemed like Hjortsberg was writing a very strange love-letter to New York City. The main character doesn't go ANYWHERE in the book without the author including the minute details of which streets he takes, which way the building he's entering faces, and the address of each bar and restaurant he goes to when meeting his sources. It's part of what made the book drag a little for me (very "hard-boiled detective" stuff, in all), but I'd be curious to write down all these details for the next time I go to Manhattan."
