Title: Amazing! Every character is not worth a penny!!
Review: Unbeliavable! Ellroy wrote a book where 99,9% of all characters are vile and mean, totally indecent and immoral, including the ones with real names!Kemper Boyd and Pete Bondurant are pure killers and even when Ellroy talks about the background of these characters, we simply can not care about their welfare: we just despise them. Ward Littel begins with a little more possibility of being a good man, but soon is also lost to "evil"...Totally original here is the courage to introduce real life characters as Hoover and the Kennedy brothers and insert dialogues in their mouths freely. Amazing technique, it works wonderfully!This is a great book, but don't go for it expecting to find nice words or poetry..it's about a society nasty, cheap and corrupt.By the way, even before reading this book, is there someone else out there that still thinks that Lee Oswald acted alone...?
