A review by jess_mango
The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler

3.0

Finally got around to reading this noir classic that has been sitting on my shelf. It was pretty much what I expected...Depression Era L.A., bootleggers, porn scandal, twists, turns, brooding. Phillip Marlowe is most definitely a man's man...which I suppose is to be expected from the era it was written in AND the era it depicts. I can appreciate Chandler's turns of phrase and I will be picking up the follow up which is sitting on my shelf waiting.
