Not as good a read as his novels, but an interesting insight into crime reporting.

I am a huge fan of Michael Connelly's fictional novels. This was an interesting incite into the author behind Harry Bosch's character. That being said, I found it difficult to read. Not because the articles weren't interesting, but because there were many articles, each telling a different story. I found myself putting this book down and reading other books, and returning to this one afterwards.
As I said, Mr. Connelly is a wonderful writer, I love his work and am looking forward to his next fictional novel.

unfortunately, this is an unedited reprint of Connelly's newspaper columns about crime stories.
Boring, dull, no cohesiveness.

My expectations for this book exceeded it's delivery. Michael Connelly has created a believable,very human character in Harry Bosch, and I was expecting to read about the real Michael Connelly. However this book is a collection of newspaper stories that Mr. connelly apparently wrote during his career as a newspaper reporter.
