VEMPHaHa reviewed The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler (Philip Marlowe, #1)
Review of 'The Big Sleep' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I adore Chandler's writing. I linger on his sentences, analyze his observations, read mesmerized by his iconic characters. I would have given this classic a full 5 stars except for the unsettling anti-gay aspects of the plot and dialogue. Yes, it was published in another time, but that doesn't mean I have to like its prejudices, and I didn't. So, read it as you will.
