"Who the hell wants to be happy when I'm rich? I'm a weak-willed person with no guts or ambition. I grabbed a brass ring and was shocked to find it wasn't gold._X000D_
People like me are brilliant once in a lifetime, flying perfectly on the swing. The rest of my life was spent on one thing: trying not to fall off the sidewalk into a ditch. "_X000D_
"You talk too much and it's all about yourself. Goodbye."_X000D_

In this city that is rich, vibrant, and full of pride, in this city that is lost, exhausted, and utterly empty, everything depends on your position, your personal achievement. _X000D_
My name is Marlowe, a private detective. I have no achievements. I don't care. _X000D_

The writing style of this book is very unique. The text is concise and powerful, but it can accurately depict the characters and scenes. Chandler's characters all have distinct personalities that make them feel like real people to me. And the storyline is very attractive, full of suspense and surprises. Just like when I first met Terry Lennox, I had no idea that he would hide so many secrets. This book made me realize that every farewell may be long, but true friendship and true love are worth pursuing and cherishing.
It felt very melancholy, as if everything Marlowe had done for friendship ended up saying goodbye to this friendship. In the end, they never had another drink together.
