Summary: Boring
Review: Wake me when it's over. The author was sleeping through this one. Worse than grass growing.

Summary: another great book
Review: Whilst i dont feel this is quite as good as his previous book, The Concrete Blonde, it is certainly quite close on it's heels. Harry Bosch is getting a stronger character book by book, and his world even more gritty and realistic. The plot isnt as good as that of The Concrete Blonde, but Connelly's writing has developed nicely... This is a great great series, and this is sure to be one of the best entries.

Summary: a great read of nostalgia
Review: you have to read all of the former Harry books to get into the mind of a lonely but troubled hunter in the concrete jungle. I totally disagreed at those readers' comments on Mr. Connelly's books about H.B. Mr. Connelly is a serious writer with a conscience. He is neither a common, mediocre writer such S.Grafton(A to Z stuuu-pid), F.Kellerman(salsa deep), or T. Hillerman(Indian relics) small-times-yet-try-to-be-a-big-deal writers, nor a hilarious, run-away writer such as Carl Hiaassen, or an ill-logic, or unbalanced writer as the author of "Justice Cause"(the only good one). Mr. Connelly gives us a romantic, heartfelt, lonely and very deep character(and those tragic heroines) in the madding crowd. I have been deeply touched by his narrative nostalgic feelings about life, death and love, even principles, if not too much. I usually rarely shedded tears for a character, yet I have wiped my eyes several times for this tragic-flawed but perfectly human hero. There are only two books I did not quite like, The Conrete Blond and the Poet. The Last Coyote was like a season finale, making people think that Mr. Connelly had fulfilled the Harry B. character and wanted let him go into the sunset. That's why "The Poet" was written. But obviously, Mr. Connelly knew, like us, he has to go back to visit Harry often, once he has collected and assembled enough stories to make Harry hit the road again. That's why after the Poet, he made Harry returned, Trunk Music or not, just don't lose that kind of nostalgic touch that Mr. Lawrence Block finally totally and completely lost it! We need such kind of writer as Mr. M. Connelly, to do the Cathasis therapy for us
