bluestarfish 's review for:

Farewell, My Lovely by Raymond Chandler

4.0

---

The stars are bumped up by the dazzling use of language and metaphors in Farewell, My Lovely. I'm not quite sure how Philip Marlowe survives everything that happens to him, or keeps track of the plot for that matter. And yes, there is significant racism and sexism in this book, and yes I did momentarily get a bit bored with the plot - but my goodness that use of language is amazing...
