Title: A Landmark Book For Cime Fiction....Terrific
Review: James Ellroy's LA Confidential will no doubt go down in history as a landmark work like Chandler's The Big Sleep and Hammett's The Maltese Falcon. Ellroy's style in entirely unique; there is really no one else like him. This novel is told in the noir traditions but with a contemporary writer's touch. Characters as real as the people you know are found in these pages, made even more real by their flaws. If you're one of those who saw the movie but has not read the book, consider this: The movie is amazing. And it cheats the power of this novel. A must-have for any crime fiction fanatic.
