The Big Sleep

bruh marlowe was not that hot how did he get all of those lovely ladies swooning over him

Has not aged well. New forgettable characters constantly being introduced. Plot threads left open. The romance makes no sense.

When it comes to Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall together, I prefer this over "To Have and Have Not." But it's still not so easy to follow, which makes it feel like it's slowly paced. With that said, you can't help but enjoy it even when it gets kind of boring.

I liked the Maltese falcon by Hammett better 🤷‍♀️ I know they’re two different authors with different styles but this one had too many characters and was more confusing that the Maltese falcon
