zozoahh 's review for:
Farewell, My Lovely
by Raymond Chandler
Wow what a case!
I enjoyed every bit of this novel. I've only read Chandler's The big sleep and now this story. And I don't think it's a coincidence that both had a cunning, enigmatic, seductive, blonde murderess!
I preferred this novel over the former. The case was so big, so complicated, many suspicious characters, many dead bodies, many events that appeared to be random but are spectacularly tied together. A dark, bloody and gruesome mystery. "It’s not that kind of story,’ I said. ‘It’s not lithe and clever. It’s just dark and full of blood.’"
I have a love/hate relationship with Philip Marlowe. Like he professed, He's no Sherlock Holmes for sure!
There's so much smoking and drinking going on in this novel that you'd feel like coughing when you're done with it!
