Title: My first reading of hardboiled fiction
Review: I figured I might as well start with the master, and boy, was this a fun ride! There are some issues with the prose on occasion (wordiness, lack of clarity) but as a whole it's a tightly-paced thriller with believable plot elements and an interesting cast of characters. It was especially interesting to read as a 21st century girl, with so many things that would be politically incorrect or offensive today. I will definitely continue to read Chandler in the future. I've heard his style grew as he wrote, so I'm curious to read his later books.
