So, while I really wanted to enjoy this one, I felt almost a little let down by it, now I’m not overly sure why that might be but I did struggle with it.

I don’t know whether it was the mix of prose and verse or whether it was the subject matter itself, I’m not too sure. But what I do know is that I am not overly convinced that it was worth all the hype surrounding it.

I did enjoy the view into Los Angeles after the Second World War, and I did enjoy seeing the fast paced growth of America in that post-war period, but other than that I am struggling to think of anything else that I particularly enjoyed.
