A good read, I couldn't help but hear Bogart in my head every time Marlowe spoke. I was a little surprised by the maturity of some of the content (filmed today, it would definitely be rated R), as well as some of the homophobic comments. I recognize and acknowledge that it is a product of its time and don't hold it against the book, but it was still unexpected.
