Pleasantly surprised by the inclusion of a major homosexual character; sadly unsurprised by how homophobic said representation was. Well written and engaging read otherwise. Am excited to see the movie.
Prototypical noir. Reads fast, decent plot, fun characters.
medium-paced
Ok I didn't actually read the whole book. I read 8 chapters and the thought of reading further seems like a chore. The main character, Sam Spade, can go take a flying leap. I couldn't care less about who is guilty of what. Could the women in this book be any more pathetic? This book is in the "return to library" pile as I type.
Great characters who unfortunately spend too much time standing around in rooms talking about what happened, rather than doing the action. Still, it's a wonderful noir mystery.
Cool and suave. Very cool to read such a classic and genre-defining book!

I don’t think I’m cut out for these types of books. I think for once I need to movie to understand what I just read… obviously a much older book so maybe it was the speech style but who knows. I’m glad it’s over lol
