taliaissmart 's review for:
The Black Dahlia
by James Ellroy
I can't tell if I like or hate this completely disturbing and compelling book.
Basically, there isn't a single likable character, the whole thing is chock-full of racism and sexism and homophobia and VIOLENCE, and I can't even tell if that's because it's anchored to the corrupt L.A. of the forties or because the author is 100% depraved. I was so disgusted throughout the novel, but I kept reading because I had to see the gory tale to its conclusion. Full of twists, the mystery itself shines through layers of grime and caked, dried blood.
yuck
