Title: Fabulous Noir - even if you say you don't like the genre
Review: This is a fabulous book! It's Raymond Chandler's first novel & our first glimpse of one of the great characters in Fiction (argueably Pop Culture), Philip Marlowe. Marlowe combs through the seamy underbelly of 1930's L.A. on a case involving a paralyzed millionaire & his two psycho daughters. There's blackmail, there's murder, there are twists & turns to throw you off base. It's noir at it's best, quite frankly & I'd recommend it to anyone -- even if they swear they don't like mystery books. Hell, I'm not a big fan of the dectective genre, unless it's done right and Chandler seems to be the writer that all others copy, badly.
Is the review positive or negative?
