Reader comments

The writing style of this book is concise and lively, and the writing style is smooth and natural. Chandler presents a complex and realistic world through Marlowe's perspective. The dialogue between Marlowe and Lennox is very exciting, such as "I just said that I have encountered some difficulties." "Aren't you afraid that I will force you with a gun?" These short lines can make people feel the tense atmosphere between the two. Highly recommended!

It is death that gives meaning to farewell, and loss that gives value to gain.

Why did Marlowe say his last words? He lived so clearly that it was impossible not to know that these words would completely cut off the relationship between him and Terry.

Chandler's descriptive ability is quite textured. Comparing Grandma's detective novels, we can understand why Chandler can rise from genre literature to the ranks of classics.
