Reviews
"Raymond Chandler is a master." -- The New York Times "[Chandler] wrote as if pain hurt and life mattered." -- The New Yorker "Chandler seems to have created the culminating American hero: wised up, hopeful, thoughtful, adventurous, sentimental, cynical and rebellious." --Robert B. Parker, The New York Times Book Review "Philip Marlowe remains the quintessential urban private eye." -- Los Angeles Times "Nobody can write like Chandler on his home turf, not even Faulkner. . . . An original. . . . A great artist." - The Boston Book Review "Raymond Chandler was one of the finest prose writers of the twentieth century. . . . Age does not wither Chandler's prose. . . . He wrote like an angel." -- Literary Review "[T]he prose rises to heights of unselfconscious eloquence, and we realize with a jolt of excitement that we are in the presence of not a mere action tale teller, but a stylist, a writer with a vision." --Joyce Carol Oates, The New York Review of Books "Chandler wrote like a slumming angel and invested the sun-blinded streets of Los Angeles with a romantic presence." -Ross Macdonald "Raymond Chandler is a star of the first magnitude." --Erle Stanley Gardner "Raymond Chandler invented a new way of talking about America, and America has never looked the same to us since." --Paul Auster "[Chandler]'s the perfect novelist for our times. He takes us into a different world, a world that's like ours, but isn't.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

    The Long Good-Bye

    This book was recommended by one of the lists as one of the best 100 mysteries written in the 1900's/ or a classic. I loved the book at the start but about three-quarters through, found it redundant and repetitive. The writing was excellent in parts -- published in the 1950's, it probably wouldn't have survived a great editor today. I read it for my mystery book club and in the end, I am not sure I would recommend it, as I thught it too long. The man character. Philip Marlowe did help set the standards for a Private Investigator -- honest, smart -- but he was almost "too virtuous" in some ways to be "true". I am not certain I would recommend it really, although I will remember it, so maybe.

    Page turning Classic. A must in your reading list.

    Classic from page one to the end. I'm just getting into the older "masers" of this craft and it is great!
