\"Book<\/a>I’ve owned a couple of Elmore Leonard books for a while, but I hadn’t read one until now. Mr. Leonard’s recent passing<\/a> prompted me to pick up this book<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I have seen the film, of course, because for some strange reason in the waning years of the twentieth century, I saw George Clooney movies. In the cinema. Huh. That was a weird time.<\/p>\n

At any rate, it read pretty well, too. Of course, seeing the movie before reading the book means I had in my head the appearances of the main characters, so I’m not sure how well Leonard described them. The action is punchy, the situations different and amusing. <\/p>\n

I have one or two more Elmore Leonard books scattered amongst my stacks. When I stumble across them, I’ll pick them up.<\/p>\n

It’s neat to find an author new to me that I enjoy. I know, it’s not like I lacked indicators that Leonard’s books were good. But sometimes it takes a little push to get me to read something.<\/p>\n
