Reader comments
This book is great! Chandler's works are always wonderful, and the collection of short stories demonstrates his imagination and control. His understanding of detective novels is also very profound, and the discussions in the book are of great benefit to people. However, I kind of hate the character who is always looking for trouble, and I hope he gets his comeuppance in the story. Overall, this is a great book worth reading!
