Hiding in the darkness of the trees, he was waiting for the state police car to move on, but it would not. Red lights filled the road below, flashlights began to search the woods around him. But he would not go back to Doctor Chax. He could take no more shocks. No more dying, day after day, and coming to life in pain. Whatever it takes, he will be free.

Donald E. Westlake (aliases include: Tucker Coe, Richard Stark) is one of the most nimble, prolific, consistently enjoyable writers I've encountered. A quick tribute: I've knocked off an equal amount of Westlake and Wodehouse and, when reading the comic works of the former, consistently experience the same amused lightheadedness that comes over me when dipping into the latter. However, unlike P.G., Mr. Westlake regularly works out of the less sunny realms of his imagination, as this book demonstrates, and will, from time to time, forgo camouflaging the fact with a pseudonym (for instance, his brilliant "The Ax"). What I'm saying is: Donald E. Westlake is not simply a comic crime novelist, so if you're looking for a good laugh you may be disappointed (I was not) and end up writing a laughable online review (see below) of a very excellent entertainment, such as "Pity Him Afterwards".

Westlake is a great comic dectective author. In Pity Him Afterward he takes a different turn and gives us a picture of a psychopathic maniac turned loose. The book was fast paced and interesting. The plot had some interesting twists and the ending was surprising.

Donald Westlake is a wonderfully warm and funny author. His books Trust Me on This, Hot Rock, and Cops and Robbers are the epitome of his style and very much worth reading. This book isn't.
I hate to say that it wasn't only that this book wasn't what I expected, it just wasn't very good. If you're looking for a good starter Westlake, try just about any in the Dortmunder series, but don't try Pity.
