The Big Sleep
I started reading The Big Sleep, and quite honestly I'm struggling to read it a little bit. Though the book is pretty interesting it hasn't dragged me in the way And Then There Were None has. I definitely wasn't expecting as many twists and turns in the book as there have been so far. It seemed at first that he was being hired for a pretty easy job - though right there you knew something was off by the way it was presented, and all the drama/trouble that follow the sisters.. I don't want to give away the book up until this point in case people haven't read it - but I will say that I have come up with so many different theories in my mind and every few pages it changes all over again. I also think there's still a lot more to learn about the father, and that we will end up learning something we weren't expecting.

I find the book interesting too. I read up to chapter 7. I'm curious to know what happens after the detective breaks in the hideaway house and sees who he sees. Although the book is interesting, like you I experienced some trouble reading it. Only I'm not sure whether it's from certain parts of the middle of what I read; or if it's from physical and mental distractions. I'm learning some new words reading this book. A reader should always jot down an unfamiliar word and look it up in order to memorize it. This is a great way to work on vocabulary. I'm going to reread what I read before going further to see if I missed anything I didn't catch on to the first time.
