In this gripping, terrifying, and unputdownable read, discover Greene's iconic tale of the razor-wielding Pinkie.
'Brighton Rock when I was about thirteen. One of the first lessons I took from it was that a serious novel could be an exciting novel - that the novel of adventure could also be the novel of ideas' Ian McEwan

Customer Reviews
Brighton Rock
This book gives another angle on Graham Greenes view of his faith, and his own personal moral theology. He is not afraid to add to the writings of the Fathers in this respect , and the beauty of it is, that his books are the only such writings any layman, Catholic or not, is likely to read.
