Title: Lisa Vinayak: Casserlypd5
Review: I'm not into detective stories, and I had never read Chandler before this; neither have I seen the movie. Did I like it? Yes, why not - it had a certain sense of style, a certain attraction, present in every comment by every character. As it comes to dialogue, this book has it all. That's easy to admit.That much for the good sides, there were weak points too. Most of all Chandler's descriptions seemed to me somewhat showy and heavy. Also, the plot could've been more mesmerizing. Compared to other detective novels I have read in the past, this one might not do so well. Incredibly sophisticated plots always make me feel confused. Too much glamour in the plot seems like a desperate need to gain attention. But I'm pretty satisfied; it is very rare that 'a classic' turns out to this good.
