The Cold Six Thousand : A Novel

Summary: Brilliant but not for everyone
Review: I am a huge fan of Ellroy, and this book did not disappoint. I loved it. Fans of Ellroy who have not already bought it should do so immediately.
If you are not a fan or have never read Ellroy, than be forewarned, this is a challenging book to read, well worth the effort, but difficult none-the-less. Ellroy does not hold the reader's hand and guide them along through the book. The slang and style of Ellroy's prose can leave the reader saying "huh?". The reader should expect to be baffled at times. However this is part of the fun and Ellroy always eventually clarifies later in his own way.
