I just finished Blood's A Rover moments ago. I'm still a little overwhelmed.
The story definitely did not go where I expected it to go, and the book
itself changed as it progressed. Ellroy's bebop prose style and his casual
use of racial slurs disappear as the book gets more serious and the
characters get closer to what passes for redemption. The whole thing kind of
caught be off guard.
