It's exactly what you want from James Ellroy. An ambitious take on old characters and historical people. The prose is hard boiled in the extreme, and the rhythm of the book will get in your head.
Everybody in the book is crooked. Everything is extreme. It's got booze and drugs and murder and frame ups and plastic surgery and espionage and treason and greed and racists and movie stars and really, LA is the main character.
I'll read the next book in the series for sure but need a few palate cleaners in between
