shadedelight 's review for:
L.A. Confidential
by James Ellroy
Why do I read these books? I'm usually so appalled at the brutality of Ellroy's protagonists, and the corruption he reveals in almost every page, that I ask myself repeatedly why I continue to read them. My only answer is that Ellroy writes with such passion and such insight, and so vividly that I am captivated. What will happen, who will die, who will live, who will find redemption, who will find love? Always always a great story. Always intriguing characters. Always the best writing there is. Mr Ellroy, I don't want you to ever stop, even when I say "I can't read this anymore."
