Reader comments
The charm of language not only makes the story very exciting, but also makes it endlessly memorable.
Unlike ordinary detective novels, the focus is not on the truth, but on the process of searching.
Metaphorical sentences are very vivid. I am a person who likes to read ten lines at a glance, but when I read his works, I will read them word for word...
Everyone is not perfect, but everyone is full of flesh and blood.
In this life, we have loved and parted. Where will it stop?
Just like what is said in "The Long Goodbye", "To say goodbye is to die a little bit." It made me feel the deep friendship between men. The author's description of details is also very good. For example, in "The Big Sleep", the description of the corpse made me feel as if I was actually there. These three books are definitely worth reading!
