♥♥♥♥♥ |
Good writing.
|
This is my third Connelly book. I really like the way he writes and the story moves along quickly. But I have two complaints.
First, he doesn't seem to use contractions. "I am going.." "I will do that..."
I didn't notice it at first but now I can't not notice it. Using "I'm" and "I'll" is not jargon. It's standard English. People in a hurry don't say "I am leaving this place."
Second, almost every male character (particularly in authority) is treated with active contempt by Bosch. I realize he's an outsider but, c'mon. He can't be openly hostile to every person he meets.
I understand willing suspension of disbelief, but that concept shouldn't be very much evident in police procedurals that rely heavily on realism.
Other than those two things, the books are great. |
