DESCRIPTION:
In noir master Raymond Chandler's The Long Goodbye, Philip Marlowe befriends a down on his luck war veteran with the scars to prove it. Then he finds out that Terry Lennox has a very wealthy nymphomaniac wife, whom he divorced and remarried and who ends up dead. And now Lennox is on the lam and the cops and a crazy gangster are after Marlowe.
"We're a big rough rich wild people and crime is the price we pay for it." Whistlers Mom Raymond Chandler was a momma's boy. He was living with his mother when he fell in love with a woman eighteen years older than he. Mrs. Chandler refused to allow her 30-year-old son to marry, so he had to wait until Mommy #1 died before he could marry Mommy #2. No wonder he created Phillip Marlowe - the ultimate loner. Marlowe's women are . Marlowe at His Best Warren A. Lewis Let me start by saying this particular version, I notice, is not available. That is good because this is the worst kindle conversion I have seen yet In the entire book when a word has the letters "cl" a "d" is used, therefore close becomes dose and clear becomes dear in the ENTIRE book. Periods appear in the middle of a sentence, sometime. A great classic The Long Goodbye is a book I should have read years ago. It was published in 1953 and has been very popular since it came out. Since most people who will read this review already know who Philip Marlowe is either from the books or the classic films, this will be just a brief reflection on my own impressions.I love Raymond Chandler's style
