Like the city itself, these pieces are all over the place; most of them are rather mediocre, but there are a few gems to be found.
Great selection of great writing. Most pieces are instant classics. Captures the breadth and depth of an area not usually associated with the literary scene (except for hard boiled private eyes.) Nice piece by editor Ulin sets the mood.
All the storie is this book are quick, fun and amusing to read. I think everyone who has visited Los Angeles or ones who were raised in "Another City" will agree its a must read. This book also makes a perfectly fitting gift for those.
