HOSTAGE: Crais, Robert:
Mars' extensive criminal history seems like trashy
sensationalism, but if that is what it takes to amp up a
novel to be a bestseller, so be it! One of several books
that are not part of the 'Elvis Cole' series.
HOSTAGE: Willis, Bruce:
Opening credits were one of the best fx in the whole
film. But, what's up with the shoot-out at the OK Corral type
scene at the close of the film, --that's not how it played out in the
novel at all !!
THE LAST DETECTIVE:
Elvis Cole; Man, I finally learn what his real birthname
is in this one! 5-2, HOO !! How's that joke go? People used to
call me "Stupid" so often, I thought that was my name, until
about my 21st Birthday!
L.A. REQUIEM:
(so, what is a 'requiem'?)(A= A hymn, composition, or service for
the dead. ) Dolan, very dead. Joe
'Pikester' maimed & injuired. Death and
destruction. --sho' nuf, good stuff !! Just like on Hill Street Blues!!
"With a rich cast of characters reminiscent of Raymond
Chandler's classic The Long Goodye" -Amazon.Com
DEMOLITION ANGEL:
Parallels Jodie Foster & Anthony Hopkins in SOTL '91? -yet
original and multidimensional. Frequent usage 'he spread his hands'.
FORGOTTEN MAN:
No Dad, bummer !!
