L.A. Confidential - Likewise Book Reviews

"While he's not Dashiell Hammett (who is?) he's pretty good. I like Ellroy's purple prose. It's well done and adds to the ambience of the work."

"James Ellroy's L.A. Confidential is a gritty, neon-drenched dive into the seedy underbelly of 1950s Los Angeles. It's a tale of corruption, murder, and moral ambiguity, told with a style that's as dark and twisted as the city itself. If you're a fan of noir fiction and don't mind a little violence and depravity, this book is a must-read. "
