" Like all of the other Hollywood Station novels, it's enjoyable and funny yet also melancholy. It's not quite as good as the others, however, because of 2 reasons. One, the most interesting cops from the other books aren't present much in the plot--like Nate Weiss--and the only reoccurring people are Flotsam and Jetsam, who, while funny, are rather simple-minded characters. The new cops aren't as interesting or well-drawn. And while Wambaugh gives a nice detailed description of San Pedro and the character of Dinko, the Mexican girl Lita is sort of bland. So, overall, not quite as good as the other novels, but still worth reading. "
