The Long Goodbye by Raymond Chandler

5.0

My first five-star review of 2012! What a fabulous book: a hard-boiled Steinbeck. Chandler truly is a fantastic writer that pulls you through his story with succinct yet incisive dialogue and churning plots. I liked this infinitely more than the Elliot Gould movie and significantly more than his Big Sleep novel. Do yourself a favor, read this book at the earliest opportunity!
