The Informers

I saw the movie a few months ago, only because Billy Bob Thornton was in it, and even his presence couldn't make the movie more palatable. However, the book by Bret Easton Ellis was really quite good. I like his writing style, how bleak and stark everything is. He was able to capture the ugliness that was early 1980s L.A. without the repetition that plagued one of his other books, "Less Than Zero". The book is really about anything, other than relaying a certain feeling about a time and a place, which he does quite well.
