Negative Positive
Title: Scott Turow for the louche!
Review: This is one of the most overrated books of recent years. I have no problem with people liking swill, they usually do, but people with otherwise good taste seem to LOVE this pretentious twaddler.Ellroy writes plot-dependant novels, but can't plot to save his damn life. Halfway through every one of his books, the plot breaks down, and, not that I read for plot, there's nothing else left.Save yourself time and read a good Ed McBain, Elmore Leonard, or, go to the source, Dash Hammett.
