Couldn't stop reading it.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Crime Wave (Audio Cassette)
Crime wave is the book that made me the James Ellroy fan I am today. From the first sentence, I was hooked. Crime wave is a book of short stories, actual true crime cases, and a few essays written by Ellroy for GQ Magazine. Reading Ellroy is almost like singing along with a tune on the radio, it's all about rythm. Included are a story about Ellroy's Mother's unsolved murder and another fictitious story involving Dick Contino. The stories that I loved most of all though, were the stories told by Danny Getchell, the dirt digger for HUSH-HUSH magazine. All in all, I loved Crime Wave because it is a look at 1950s crime in L.A. I think Ellroy fans and non-Ellroy fans alike, should do themselves a favor and pick up a copy of CRIME WAVE.

Best Ever Reader!,
By Gandalf "a reader" (U.S.A) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crime Wave (Audio Cassette)
For a great unabridged read try this Books on Tape Audio edition read by Michael Prichard who adapts the character voices adroitly, showing an uncanny ear. He's an L.A. based actor who has read several hundred audiobooks; that's actually over 300! What a pro! There may or may not be other versions, but I for one will stick to the best!
