It is well-researched and written in a vigorous and distinctive style. I honestly think that James Ellroy was heavily influenced by it's rebop approach and rhythms. Almost any randomly chosen passage sounds remarkably like Ellroy. And, of course, it's centered in LA. The book has an interesting history. The first printing had a chapter on Scientology offshoot the Church of thr Process. Manson had a background in both religions/organizations. The Process brought suits against both Sanders and his publisher. Subsequent editions had the chapter excised. It's a keeper.
