    Not surprisingly, far batter than the various film adaptations.
  

*by 9***T on Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2017*

Although it is difficult to not hear Bogart's voice in Marlowe's, and that is not a bad thing, it is Raymond Chandler's voice that makes this book a treasure. Having read Chandler's and Hammett's books decades ago, I recently decided to revisit them in order. Much like Truman Capote's, Breakfast at Tiffany's, the book, Farewell My Lovely, is at times, fairly unrecognizable from the any of its celluloid counterparts. Also, not a bad thing, and this case a very good thing. The behind the scenes subplots and character studies are meaty and delicious. Rather than try and guessthe outcome, I prefer to enjoy the ride, and like Hammett, Chandler never lets you down.

    Some Really Excellent Writing, But VERY Dated in Terms of Racial Referenc
  

*by F***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2020*

"Farewell My Lovely" is a 1940 American Noir Crime Novel authored by Raymond Chandler.  This protagonist is Philip Marlowe, a hard bitten private detective.  The mystery itself is clever.  Some of the writing, particularly about scenery and metaphor is masterful.  To that extent the work is probably a five star crime novel.My concern and dilemma in writing this review is the really insensitive and dated  vernacular and nomenclature about minorities and women.  I have never worked in the publishing industry.  My guess is this work would not be published as an original work by any mainstream American publisher today.  I do not wish to offend the sensitivities of any reader.I do not believe in censorship.  I want to read literature as written.  If there is insensitivity, I use that as a means of reflection, learning and self improvement.At a strictly practical level, I have had readers tell me that they do not care about writing about scenery.  I respect that, but Raymond Chandler is a master in depicting scenery.  If one doe not care about scenery and metaphor, one may not enjoy this work as I do.In summary, I really like this story.  I really like American Crime Noir.  I love expert depiction of scenery.  I love artful metaphor.  In that context, I really like this work.  On the other had, there is a lot of "cringe factor" contained within this work.  As a parent I would not allow my youthful children to read this without very serious parental guidance.  Thank You...

    It all starts with a big guy named Moose
  

*by B***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2017*

While finishing up on another case, Marlowe spots a big white guy go into a bar and gambling club for blacks. He's looking for a girl. As Marlowe tries to get away from the case, his next client hires him for a job that goes wrong. There's a connection between Moose, a stolen necklace, a nut house and a fortune teller. This one has it all. A maniac thug, drugs, guns, corruption and femme fetales including a wealthy blonde.Raymond Chandler brings L.A to life in this thriller about people looking for something, or trying to get rid of it. We're introduced to the character of Anne Riordan, a recurring character in Marlowe's mythos especially in the HBO tv series from the 80s.Marlowe is a white knight who is constantly getting his butt whooped through the streets of L.A by crooks, cons and cops and for what? Pocket change if he's lucky.
