My review of Joseph Wambaugh's excellent Hollywood Station ran this morning in the Chicago Sun-Times.
This was one of my favorite books of the year, so I highly recommend it.
By the way, if you read the review, you'll notice that I quote a piece of dialogue from the book that includes the word "shit." I wondered if the paper would allow that, but apparently they did.
Good for them.




I just started reading Wambaugh with The New Centurions. On another L.A. note, I also just started reading Ellroy also.

I can certainly see eleements of darkness in the novel, but with all the oddballs on the force, it felt like the Boston Legal of police procedurals(And that show has plenty of good serious moments too)
It was a great book.
