A review by cherj
Farewell, My Lovely by Raymond Chandler

3.0

I didn't like this one as much as The Big Sleep. I'm not sure if all the racial slurs and stereotypes got in the way or if my mindset was just different than with The Big Sleep. Even so, I enjoy Chandler's writing: the descriptions, the barbs and insults, and the overall attitude that permeates the novel. Marlowe is great and terrible at the same time. Today's "hard-boiled," anti-hero policemen and detectives, wish they were Phillip Marlowe.
