Resumen del Editor
We are behind, and below, the scenes of JFK's presidential election, the Bay of Pigs, the assassination - in the underworld that connects Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago, DC....
Where the CIA, the Mob, J. Edgar Hoover, Howard Hughes, Jimmy Hoffa, Cuban political exiles, and various loose cannons conspire in a covert anarchy....
Where the right drugs, the right amount of cash, the right murder, buys a moment of a man's loyalty....
Where three renegade law-enforcement officers - a former L.A. cop and two FBI agents - are shaping events with the virulence of their greed and hatred, riding full-blast shotgun into history....
James Ellroy's trademark nothing-spared rendering of reality, blistering language, and relentless narrative pace are here in electrifying abundance, put to work in a novel as shocking and daring as anything he's written: a secret history that zeroes in on a time still shrouded in secrets and blows it wide open.

Historia
Freddy Otash was the man in the know and the man to know in '50s LA. He was a rogue cop, a sleazoid private eye, a shakedown artist, a pimp - and, most notably, the head strong-arm goon for Confidential magazine. Confidential presaged the idiot internet - and delivered the dirt, the dish, the insidious ink, and the scurrilous skank.

Follow the Angels, Follow the Doves is an origin story in the true American tradition. Before Bass Reeves could stake his claim as the most successful nineteenth-century American lawman, arresting more outlaws than any other deputy during his thirty-two-year career as a deputy US marshal in some of the most dangerous regions of the Wild West, he was a slave. After a childhood picking cotton, Reeves became an expert marksman under his master's tutelage, winning shooting contests throughout the region. His skill had serious implications, however, as the Civil War broke out.

Still, no personality was more vibrant and formidable than iO's mother's. Rhonna, a showgirl and young widow, was a mercurial, erratic glamazon. She was iO's fiercest defender and only authority in a world with few boundaries and even fewer indicators of normal life.

Five Alarm Fire
Ellroy is one of my favorite crime novelists. This book is a really violent, profane, fascinating novel about the JFK assassination, Cuba, the Mafia, J Edgar Hoover, Howard Hughes, Jimmy Hoffa, the Kennedy family, the CIA, and on and on. The story ends at noon Dallas time on 11.22.1963. It's part 1 of a trilogy; I've also read the second book (The Cold Six Thousand), which starts at noon on 11.22.1963 and is focused on the assassination aftermath and Howard Hughes, the Mafia, and Las Vegas. I will definitely read the final book in the series.

Excellent story and performance
This is a great book by the author of LA Confidential and other pulp stories.
The performance is slightly marred by what sounds like overdubs done at a later point in time with a different sound quality. It detracts from some of the performance, however, the other 95% is excellent.

Another killer novel.
I can't say enough good things about this book, and about the performance. The narrator renders a vast ensemble cast with incredible nuance, bringing color and character to Ellroy's protagonists, and an amazing realism to the voices of the real characters including J. Edgar Hoover, Howard Hughes, and John and Bobby Kennedy. Ellroy inflects noir cool into an already cool milieu. Kemper Boyd is a kind of ersatz James Bond, with a languid accent and a way with the ladies. But, as usual with an Ellroy tale, no one ever really gets away with their crimes. Peter Bondurant is the requisite thug, but Bondurant is a much more sophisticated character than Bud White from LA Confidential. All in all, a masterpiece of storytelling.

Best American Mob Novel
One of my favorite books.
In my experience, I've found that you either love James Ellroy, or you detest him. He is mostly known for his sharp short prose that bounces like a dropped butchers knife on the kitchen floor.
Thanks to Oliver Stone's film JFK, it seemed that everyone and their brother was doing something on JFK's assassination in the early 1990's. New conspiracy theories were coming out like gossip in the theeatre pool; New evidence seemed to be coming out, and I'm sure that Geraldo Rivera did something on him too at some point. I remember when Quantum Leap (one of my favorite shows during that time) even did something on it. The whole topic, while interesting, became over-saturated.
But then, in 1995, James Ellroy came out with something spectacular. A fictionalized account that that spans five years, leading up to the Kennedy Assassination is better than some of the teeth gripping conspiracies that are floating around. Ellroy doesn't go off and say that "this is actually how it was done" (we'll never know that), but his story is so fleshed out and detailed, that it all seems so plausible.
In normal Ellroy style, his characters are flawed. And he, in a style that was perfected in his 1990 novel LA Confidential, he is able to span months at a time by letting us read Headlines, or Confidential Documents or Audio Transcripts that help fill in the spaces without "talking about them". It's brilliant. Because there are times that you almost feel like you're not reading a book, as much as an investigator who has either been privy to secret documents, or have broken into someones office to peek at them.
Ellroy's world is a dark one. His is a guy who will never be seen writing YA or a picture book. And it's only been in recent years that I've seen a promotional photo of him where he's seen smiling. Which is a little off setting, because -- if you've read his work -- you think that the guy must never smile. But regardless of his dark nature, there's always something intriguing about his work. And American Tabloid is a true winner.
How I like to explain the book to others is: American Tabloid is the mob movie that made the Godfather look like a fairy tale. Now they just have to make the movie.
If I had one complaint about the Unabridged Audiobook is that: I was excited to get my hands on this unabridged recording for sometime. I had a copy of the Unabridged version that was done by Books-On-Tape years ago (narrated, I believe, by Dick Hill). Christopher Lane does a fantastic job in his delivery, and even with creating the personas of the characters he's develops. My only beef is that there are moments where it seems like the producer had seamed in points that needed to be re-recorded with Dick Hill's narration. It didn't take away from my enjoyment of the audiobook, but it was noticeable to me. Like a little bit of apple skin stuck between my teeth.
But other than that, fantastic all around.

Great Book, Near Perfect Audiobook
This is one of Ellroy's best novels, and an essential for anyone who enjoys hardboiled, historical or true crime. The interweaving of historical facts and persons with fictional plotlines and persons is dazzling. The '60s are as fascinatingly depicted as they have ever been.
The use of terse, poetic and often offensive language such as racist terms is par for the course for Ellroy, but despite ultimately being intended to underline the flaws of society at this oft-fondly recalled time in U.S. history, it may be shocking to someone who hasn't read Ellroy before.
The Audiobook is near perfect, but the narrator's voices and accents sometimes blend together. It seems like he was hired largely on the ability to affect the Kennedy accent and does so very well, but that voice at times bleeds into other characters and it can be puzzling. Characters who hail from vaguely similar places sound the same. Mob figures and Cubans, for example, all sound the same. J Edgar Hoover sounds like a bad Kennedy impression most of the time. Also, there are some overdubs for random lines that were clearly recorded at a different time, as they are much louder than the rest of the book and basically drop all attempt at accents and voices. Annoying, but not often enough to be a big deal. Overall a great listen, despite these flaws, and a fair unabridged treatment of a must-read.
