The cliches were invented right here
There are Hammett fans and Chandler fans. I am for Hammett, but Chandler's work remains compelling. The plots are nonsense but the metaphors are the purest gold. The opening scenes of THE BIG SLEEP and FAREWELL, MY LOVELY are delicious every time.

Flawed and Loving it
I was really excited about this novel when it first came out, but the hardback was too much money. So I waited for it in paperback, and became uninterested. The more I learned about the novel the more it sounded like a rip-off of Black's Tithe. After reading it I'm so ...

A tense thriller
Rosalyn Landor's TV credits and narrative skills enhance this story of Ismay, who recalls the day her stepfather is discovered dead in the bathtub and lives a nightmare nine years later, still in the same house with her sister. When her little sister becomes involved ...

The Ultimate Guide to Loveliness, Both Inside and Out.
A lot of people misuse the term "hero." Lots of people think it's an athlete, an actor, or a singer. I regard Audrey Hepburn as my hero and a great role model. She was a rare and unusually timeless beauty with her gamine looks and a gorgeous accent, often mistaken ...

A Lyrical Must-Read
According to Wikipedia, FAREWELL, MY LOVELY (1940) was Raymond Chandler's second novel and created from three short stories--"The Man Who Liked Dogs" (1936), "Try the Girl" (1937), and "Mandarin's Jade" (1937). This makes a lot of sense to me, since Chandler's great ...

The story is poignant, original, fresh -- and the writing is beautiful. Although the premise is grisly, the story is hopeful and timely. A young girl is lured to her rape and murder by a neighbor who has preyed on others. As Susie watches her family, friends, and ...

Quit whining
I am sick and tired of hearing that this book is a book for those who "have fun reading about rape and murder" and that it is "a slap in the face for murder and rape victims" cause hey, guess what: Alice Sebold WAS a rape victim. Only, she got through it and through ...

Chandler reigns
I first came across Chandler when I heard the Coen brothers interview and discovered that 'The Big Lebowski' was written in the style of one (name itself being derived from 'The Big Sleep'). This alone interested me enough to buy and read The Big Sleep. Six novels ...

I was impressed
I sell books here on amazon and on ebay. I opened this book to see what sub category I should list it in. The teaser caught my eye and I thought I would read the first chapter. I ended up finishing the complete book in one night. I loved it. It was a new concept, ...

"THIS IS MY CITY!", Bomb Queen III divides...
...But doesn't quite conquer. Still, I enjoyed this chapter of Bomb Queen and the cover showcased here by Joseph Michael Linsner is quite pretty too. As always though, this book is Jimmie Robinson through and through; story and art. I felt compelled to write a ...

Small Airplanes
I was on a commercial flight from Cleveland to Washington last Spring. It was a particularly windy day and landing at DCA seemed problematic. On approach, one wing would dip and then the other. There was no applause on landing, but a collective exhale. Ohio's junior ...
