For a book written in 1965, I found it to be terribly modern - from the love affairs, to the way the characters seem to be like the cities themselves. I liked the writing a lot - it was very immediate, but the end wasn't quite as wrapped up as I would like it to be. Still, it was a highly entertaining book and more than anything else, I wish that the book had a photograph of the author. Still, I liked it and I am shocked that LA hasn't seemed to change much.
