Title: Enjoyable After Seeing the Movie
Review: Read L.A. Confidential if you loved the movie. The book explores the backgrounds and motivations of the main characters. It also spans over decades, instead of few weeks like the movie. The movie diverges from the book on several plot points probably because of time constraints. The book gets into the Los Angeles power brokers in an interesting take. I also read the screenplay, which discusses the difficulties in adapting the book. I would recommend the reading the screenplay as well, especially the commentary.Breaking News: A Novel
