Book Reviews of The Turnaround
Book Review: Aboslutely a must read
Summary: 5 Stars
Pelecanos has taken the crime genre and given it a darn good shake up. He imbues his books with a humanity and level headedness which is miles away from the schlock horror of many of his peers. He is like an easier om the eye James Ellroy and by setting some of this book in 1972 he can discourse on politics, society and gang culture then annd now which gives this fiction a veneer of believeable truth. This is a thriller of the highest order, not just a "crime" novel, a read in one sitting masterpiece. Yes it is that good!
