Title: The story held no tension for me
Review: On its own, this may have been an excellent book, but I just finished reading a whole series of short stories by Raymond Chandler, and one of those had a significant amount of overlapping material with "The Big Sleep." Some of the lines were almost virtually identical. I felt like I was just reading the long version of that short story, and as such, this novel held no tension for me. It just felt pointless. So I quickly gave up.
