Sorry you didn't like Am. Tabloid. Really sorry. I think it's
an amazing book. But with post-L.A. Conf. Ellroy, I think
it's very much a love him or hate him situation. since White
Jazz was the book that hooked me, and continues to be my
favorite novel, I'm one who enjoys that direction of his
work.
My Dark Places is very good, also. I guess what I've been
most disappointed with from Ellroy is his recent GQ fiction,
in which he seems to be parodying himself instead of pushing
ahead. I'm hoping that changes with the next novel, which
he's taken far too long to write.
