I started the book just before seeing the movie, and I ended up enjoying the book more. The book offers more character development and detail in scenes that were sort of glossed over in the film, scenes that in the end played an important role in the plot of the book. Ellroy paints a great picture of SoCal in the '40s - I look forward to reading his other books.
