Negative Positive
Title: Disapointing Sleeper
Review: I read "The Big Sleep" expecting a detective novel which would keep me up at night turning the pages, finishing it in one or two sittings. It lasted a month. The plot isn't all that exciting, and frankly hard to follow. There is little to no character development. I certainly felt the cigarette filled rooms smelling of booze and rumpled detectives, but the storyline was uneventful. I will rent the DVD to see what Hollywood made of the book. Certainly, there must be other intriguing works of detective fiction, perhaps even by Chandler, that would be better than "The Big Sleep."
Is the review positive or negative?
