Query: Disgusting, foul and obscene

The most depressing,horrible book I have ever read. I would not have continued it after the first 50 pages if it had not been the selection for the local book club. If you ever have the chance DON'T READ IT! It is a true crime/detective story about the murder of his mother and contains many disgusting, foul and obscene parts. It is truly amazing that with the many evil, black (not just dark) thoughts James Ellroy has/had about his mother and other murdered women in the L.A. area that he did not turn into a serial murderer himself. The only enlightening thing about the book is the question of how many other boys reading "true crime" books will accept his dark thoughts and evil suggestions as normal and be pushed into a private life as perverted as the one James Ellroy describes as his own. I do NOT recommend this book to anyone!
