A Dwarf, A Soldier and a Sociopath
Feb 2 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
Ross Thomas may be my favorite author. He was a journalist before he tried his hand at fiction. The characters are quirky and often delightful. This book is post World War II. There are soldiers, Nazis, Jews, a delusional killer that continues to hunt Nazis and kill them. And there is a dwarf. Great read. Buy it!!!

Thomas Always Delights
Mar 28 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Not only does Thomas always have a great plot, which in and of itself keeps your attention, he assembles a colorful and ecletic cast of characters. The Eighth Dwarf is one of those books where you say "Just one more chapter" but read three more. The dialogue is convincing and the action is exciting. It's what "entertaining escape reading" is all about.

One of the best books I ever read
Dec 5 2008
Format:Mass Market Paperback
It's been a long time since I read this book, but it's one of my all time favorite mystery stories. Ross Thomas is one of the best writers in the genre. His books are never a disappointment, and this one is my favorite. Contrary to the other remarks, the dwarf is not the main character, but an eccentric and interesting (if greedy and unreliable) wrench in the game. I'd say more about the fine moral fiber of the protagonist fresh from WW-II military service, but the details escape me. Guess it's time to read the book again! - Especially since I've read almost everything else Thomas has written. Don't miss the Henry Wu-Voodoo, Ltd. series.
