I enjoyed the first story, Goldfish, the best (art, adaptation) but the entire book was pretty enjoyable. The language and dialogue were a hoot.

I'm not much into graphic novels, but this was a gift from my parents, and it was a fun way to pass an afternoon. The artwork in the first story was clunky and awkward, but the second two stories had great shading and a dark noir feel. At times I felt like the writing was a little awkward (how exactly does one "draw" Marlowe's spoken thoughts?), but I ended up most enjoying the sequences that actually relied entirely on images, similar to a film montage, which worked quite well in all three stories. The cover image was retro-cool and introduced me to the work of Jim Steranko, so I may check out his Chandler book in the near future.
