Title: Disappointing and careless.
Review: Ellroy's first novel, and it shows. Not a bad book when compared with other writers, it's definitely below par for Ellroy. As a former caddie we can presume that Ellroy handles the sections of the book dealing with "loopers" and their lives accurately but other than this the plot of the book falls into place ridiculously easily. Is it really so simple to impersonate a police officer on the telephone every time you need some information? The book is also careless. A character is described is "slim and athletic" and then twenty pages later as "fat and strong". If you read this one, read it before you read any other Ellroy then maybe you won't be so disappointed.
