The Big Sleep

Out of all the books we have read so far in class Ive had more of an appeal towards "The Big Sleep". I believe my reasoning for finding it appealing is due to the fact that I have a major interest in mystery genres. Majority of the books that I have read over my years of High School and College tended to be mystery genres. What I like about these types of books is that majority of them have a hero character that plays the role of seeking adventure and truth. Marlow is a has played that role of a hero thus far in the Big Sleep. As a detective he finds himself saving individuals like Vivian. One of the scenes that really stuck out to me was when Vivan went on a gambling spree and won six thousand dollars in cash. As she excited the building Marlow follows her to see a masked man with a gun. Marlowes decided to take cover to see what would unfold. As the masked man pulled out his gun to steal her money Marlow sprung into action to save the day. Reading scenes like these leave me on the edge of my seat as if I were in a cinema watching a mystery.
