laura_de_leon 's review for:

The Black Dahlia by James Ellroy
3.0

This was a dark read. I like characters with shades of grey, but I need some light grey in with the blacker shades.

This book didn't have enough points of light for me. I didn't feel that the darkness brought any new perspectives to me, or that I learned from in. I just felt it was dark for the sake of being dark, and that just isn't my kind of book.

I did think the mystery was interesting, enough so to save it from being a 2 star book.
