Jesse Atkinson reviewed The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler
Review of 'The Big Sleep' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Pretty phenomenal. I enjoyed that Phillip was smarter than me (and likely most readers). I still have questions about a few loose ends. It is a bit too messy at times. But an incredible novel. Amazing prose. Basically invented a whole genre (or electrified it). Obviously reading this in 2022 I could’ve done without some of the slurs, but it didn’t ruin it for me. Made sense in context and character. Just made me like Phillip a little less.
