Syfix Designs syfixdesig212e — American Tabloid ends with Pete Bourdant watching Barbara do a rendition of "Unchained Melody" in some Dallas lunchtime geek joint on a particularly historical November morning in 1963. The novel ends with Pete watching and waiting for the screams to start. The Cold Six Thousand picks up earlier that morning with a new character Wayne Tedrow Jr. flying from Vegas to Dallas to hunt down a black (sorry I can't bring myself to use a more PC term nor can I bring myself to put the N word in the review, although it works better to capture the whole feeling of the book) pimp and kill him for shiving a mobbed up black jack dealer. He discovers on landing in Dallas that JFK is dead and by a series of collusions Wayne passes from being a cop being used for mob justice to an agent in capital H History. The reader never sees Kennedy get it. American Tabloid is a lot of things, but one could say that it's the story of why Kennedy gets it in Dallas. I'd say this is only a minor point to the book, and American Tabloid is really not a historical novel at all, but an American Tragedy in the classical sense of the term Tragedy. This Tragedy continues in The Cold Six Thousand. The first novel is the killing of JFK. The second is dealing with the aftermath. At the center of both novels are a bunch of morally suspect men. They are Right-Wingers, Hate Mongers, Conservatives, Dope Runners, Extortionists, they are Mobbed Up, Klanned Up, Feds and Mercenaries. None of them are nice people, or people one would want to have any sympathy for. On the surface they are all evil people, doing very awful and violent things, but in a murky gray area where one feels like they can't be flat out condemned. Like the characters on the TV show The Wire there are no real good guys and bad guys here, but an ever shifting landscape of personality, where the people transcend beyond a cookie cutter image and take on a complex reality. These are some amazing characters. At the heart of the first two novels (and probably the third), is a conservative presence trying to hold back the tide of progress. They are grasping for a time that maybe never even existed before the first book starts in the late 1950's. The Mob trying to reclaim their casinos in Cuba and harking back to a time when the government turned a blind eye to them, before RFK got a big fucking hard-on for them. Hoover and Howard Hughes trying to hold back the progress of equality, and dreaming of a white old boys country. The various actors in the drama, with their own pet projects, their own dreams and schemes that they are willing to do anything to see succeed. This assorted brand of reactionaries ironically can be seen as the agents of progress, the people who in their attempts to freeze the clock of time are pushing the hands forward faster. How much of this story is true? I have no idea. Ellroy is convincing in his grand totalizing vision of the era, and while it's convincing to me, it's not necessarily a vision of history that one wants. If Ellroy is telling the truth, than what we know as contemporary America has been built on the grounds of a moral abyss and only the continued reactionary manufacturing of illusions of truth keep the whole fucking thing from collapsing upon itself. I've rambled enough. If you want to read this as a review, then I recommend you read this fucking book.

Anna Quandt aequandt — I love James Patterson and this book was no exception. This book has a lot of ups and downs like any good thriller. The characters are very well written. Two crazy people reek havoc on NYC. From there pasts they made perfect friends in the here and now and even though they are a little off you can tell they truly care for on another. The main character is a returning character and you fall in love with him and his family all over again in this book.

Yu Jin govlepdl123 — I used the screenplay to write an essay: a psychoanalytic reading of fasion in The Talented Mr. Ripley. May be the best and most enjoyable paper I've written this year. Following the different jackets (Princeton, valet, corduroy, dinner jacket) in the movie I use Freud and Lacan to decipher Tom's motives in appropriating the identity of Dickie Greenleaf.

Bernhard Haas _ernhard_aas — Loved this book. The movie was pretty good to. Great weaving of the past and present.

R E _even_esign — Harry Potter is always defined as book for teenagers and kids, That what kept it for a while out of my interesting area! I just can remember when I a close friend of me has recommended it for me, I could not stop later of waiting each book! In this book J.K. Rowling has put full stop for her incredible powerful imagined world of magic and magicians. The conflict between right and wrong, good and evil. The courage and faith in Harry, made him a good symbol for teens in this age where they really need a model they can imagine to improve their believes and improve their life! The Book is highly recommend for all ages!!
