In theory the premise was interesting. The characters on the other hand were off putting and I just didn’t care for them and struggled to finish the book

Hymie Goldman puts the fun in dysfunctional from his name change (homage to Saul?), seat-of-pants business model, and totally unorthodox approach to, well, everything! Definite fun reading.

Interesting premise with a shaky execution - this collection left a lot to be desired. Although the characters were interesting and the plots just as much, at certain points there was an emotional connection lacking. Humour is good - and was good - but I would have liked it to go deeper.

The Penny Brothers' Dick for Hire was a super fun book to read. It has 4 different cases following Hymie Goldman, the Defective Detective. The writing style was a bit hard for me to get into at first because it starts really fast-paced, which I'm not used to with books. It just throws you into the adventure right away.The characters are laugh out loud funny at times. Hymie reminds me of a mix of Hercule Poirot and Mr. Bean lol. Overall, I give this book: 4 stars.

Overall I enjoyed the book, normally I don’t like a range of short stories but each kept me entertained and excited to read on. The crazy stories of Hymie and Mike made me laugh out loud and wanting to see what they got up to next. The characters were clever and developed the more stories I read, I defiantly would read more of these stories.
