American Tabloid by James Ellroy

5.0

Enjoying this one immensely so far. It's got the same grit as LA Confidential but the way it weaves into the Kennedys, Hollywood, Hoffa, Cuba, Hoover, the Mob, and hey, why not throw in Howard Hughes while we're at it, makes the scope of L.A. Confidential feel downright parochial in comparison. It does feel somewhat unbelievable at times the way every single character has not so much a dark side, but an absolute scumbag side at times, but it's enjoyable even if the conscience revolts.
