[ 5.0 stars ] "James Ellroy is a writer of keen intelligence and savage tongue, and THE BIG NOWHERE is perhaps the most harrowing and satisfying entry in his dazzling "L.A. Quartet," Ellroy's chronicle of the demonic and dark waves undulating beneath the sun-scorched surface of Los Angeles in the forties and fifties. ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 3.0 stars ] "I was disappointed in this book, but I guess I should have researched it better before buying. This is no knock on the author - it just wasn't the kind of writing I like best. The writing style was busy, with complex details and descriptions in each sentence, and lots of darkness to the tone (not surprising for the noir style, but I didn't feel that way about Ross MacDonald so much). Too m ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "If you aren't familiar with James Ellroy or his story, then do yourself a favor and read up on him. This book (2nd in his "L.A. Quartet") is set during the Red Scare in early 1950's Los Angeles. Webs of intrigue, corruption and betrayal make this book (as well as the other three in the Quartet) the definitive must-have for the Shady side of Tinseltown aficionado.Ellroy's stories are tr ..."

[ 5.0 stars ] "James Ellroy writes (or at least wrote) the "hard-boiled detective" novel with such skill that it transcends the cliches and becomes a classic. All the ingredients are there, but his deep knowledge of LA and its dark history make this as much Ellroy's LA as it was Phillip Marlowe's.Ellroy is not for everybody. If your idea of a good detective novel is something by Janet Evanovich you proba ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "Forget Grisham and Coben, this is not very easy to read (dont mistake me, I love them both too!)Of all the Ellroys I've read this is my favourite. A very complicated story, three very strong and immoral characters you end up loving, gangsters, hookers, mob, and of course Los Angeles.But the very reason I loved it is because among all these despicable characters and situations there is room for ..."
