Mark and Brian,
I agree with both of you. I think that Elroy often gets
caught up in language and style and lets them run roughshod
over the story. I think My Dark Places works so well because
it's so personal.
Puzo once said that he delivered the first draft of the
Godfather to his agent and left the country for a long
vacation with his family. He said he thought he would get
another crack at rewriting it. The movie was way
better.
