Paul, If you check the archives you would find I critized
Pelecanos' work often on this list, but it was mainly because
he writes about things that he is very knowledgable and
interested in like modern music or cars which I don't really
care about. Even though a reference may be very obscure, he
includes it to satisfy himself because he feels it will add
something to the understanding of a character's personality.
. Obviously, considering the books' endings plots are not his
greatest strength, but I feel characters and setting
are.
Its good for the list to have somrone criticize one of its
favorites. After this furor dies down time try taking on
Willeford. Mark
