Title: Rip-off by Connelly and publisher
Product review: I bought this book expecting a "riveting collection of true stories that inspired and informed his novels". Instead, only his introduction is new; for the rest, we get a re-print of some articles he wrote for the "LA Times" and the "South Florida Sun-Sentinel." And nowhere is this mentioned on the cover or the back of the book.I felt cheated. If only he had used those old articles to put some new perspective on them and the way they've influenced his crime-novels.Instead, we get this (not cheap) rip-off, intended to provide Connelly and his publisher with a quick buck. Sad things is, I wished I could only blame the publisher (from them we can expect things like this) but that Connelly would go along with this... Shame on you, Connelly!So, people, DON'T BUY THIS! Limit yourself to his crime-novels! Those at least are a lot of bang for your buck.
