    I agree with Neil. No one is more frustrating to read (at times) than Ellroy, but in terms of technique, nobody reaches higher or reaches more often. His politics and world view are becoming so intrusive in his fiction, that eventually, he may chase me away, but I'll cut him a lot of slack in style and delivery.
