shawnlindsell 's review for:
L.A. Confidential
by James Ellroy
This is my third, and I have to say last, Ellroy book. An unnecessarily complicated plot, a falling flat ending and a style of writing that I just can't get through made this a chore to read. I find it difficult to follow what's happening in Ellroy novels. Too many characters (and switching between first, last and nicknames doesn't help matters) and the Tommy gun bursts of short sentences (maybe that style is what appeals to Ellroy fans) constantly pull me into awareness that I am reading a book, rather than just letting me enjoy the story.
