Book Reviews of The Big Nowhere
Book Review: The best of Ellroy's LA Quartet
Summary: 5 Stars
Black Dahlia, LA Confidential, White Jazz: Excellent. The Bg Nowhere: Execptional!
Danny, Mal, Buzz: most compelling characters.
The Red Scare/Homosexual mutilation killings/Drugs/LAPD Corruption/ Obsession on-top-of obsession: Woven together without flaw. The darkest, most depressing of Ellroy's LA Quartet with an ending that sizzles. 6 out of 5 stars.
Book Review: Ellroy's best book.
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading Black Dahlia (Good not great) and White Jazz (impossible to follow) I was about to give up on Ellroy. Sure the NOIR had its allure but I still didn't see what the fuss was all about. Alas, The Big Nowhere proves once and for all why JE is one of the best contemporary writers of his time. Oh, and yes Capt. Dudley Smith does make an appearance here.....Book Review: Corruption et cruauté en pleine chasse aux sorcières
Summary: 5 Stars
J'ai découvert l'univers de James Ellroy par le film L.A.Confidential et en lisant Le Grand Nulle Part, j'ai été abasourdi par le style Ellroy qui atteint pour moi son paroxysme dans l'un des meilleurs romans noirs. Merci à James Ellroy !!Book Review: The best novel in an excellent quartet
Summary: 5 Stars
The best novel out of the Quartet. The plot is sprawling, but unlike White Jazz or (to a lesser extent) L.A. Confidential, still followable, and the characters particularly well drawn and sympathetic, especially Danny Upshaw. Terse, tragic, and thrilling.Book Review: BUY THIS BOOK!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love Ellroy. His style and use of the written word are unlike anything i've ever seen or ever will see. TBNW was a book that adds to the Ellroy myth. Read it! You'll thank me. Later
