LA Confidential is giving me a real mental workout. This is not like The Black Dahlia at all. The prose syntax with its hyphens and semi-colons is damn tough. The first chapter with the shootout at the auto court is fantastic. James Ellroy has worked hard on this one.

Damn! I stopped reading this for Thomas Pynchon. Back on the exploits of the drug addled Philip Elliot.

It is not bad. But nowhere on the level of the other novels with Renton, Sick Boy, Spud and Begbie. Hope it improves.

It's pretty good so far. But I am not enamored by this.

Pretty sure there's no monster now. Into the last 20 pages.

Is there a monster or not? Im a bit tired reading about the parents of these two normie characters.

I love the story and the structure but it is taking ages to move forward. Hope the build up is worth it.

Trying to get back into Pynchon after a few Parker novels is not easy.

Parker finally breaks the rule of not sleeping with a woman during a job with Crystal.

Damn! This is great. Another thrilling Parker novel.
