All I Did Was Shoot My Man Audiobook

" Mosley is a master of pacing, atmosphere and dialogue. I like Leonid, with all his flaws. "

" I have read The Fortunate Son by Mosley, but this story is written differently. This belongs to the Leonid McGill series set in New York about t an ex boxer turned detective. Leonid McGill has led a fast life by working on the fringes of the law. In this story, he aids a young woman that framed for a heist. Mosley seems very conscious of race and social status. Every character is defined by skin tone. All races intermingle with little dissention. Class structure and race structure seem obsolete. This outlook reeks of simplicity. Many parts of the narrative hint at the detective novels of the 1930's, a little like the film noir mysteries with Robert Mitchum. "

" I enjoyed the book but there were just so many characters that I had a difficult time keeping up with them. "

" One of my favorite authors. "

" Maybe its me but this was the worst book ever. The author was all over the place as was the main character. I didnt enjoy anything about this book and frankly felt like I wasted my time. "

" I only enjoyed the first 50 pages. Disappointing. "

" It was a good read. Mosley rarely disappoints. If you've read the other Leonid McGill books, you'll like to see the progression to figuring out his father's whereabouts and the relationship with his family. I liked it and can't wait for the next book. This one was a bit of a cliffhanger in many ways. "

" This latest episode in the Leonid McGill series moves fast. Leonid finds himself worried about his wife Katrina, his mistress Aura, and Zella, the woman he sent to jail 8 years before by planting false evidence implicating her in a major theft. So he is busy trying to solve this 43 million dollar heist before everyone associated with it is killed. "

" Another interesting book featuring a character you can't decide to like or dislike. Is Leonid a good guy or a bad guy? "

" This is the second novel I've read by Walter Mosley and I have to say that while there are similarities in style, I really appreciate how different this was from Killing Johnny Fry. The first few chapters had me a touch nervous, but This ended up being a very nice contrast for me "

" I love Walter Mosley's books, this book had a good story and interesting characters, I didn't like the main character though, he seemed to be really self absorbed and kinda selfish. "

" This is another good Leonid McGill mystery. Walter Mosley specializes in deeply flawed heroes, guilty for their sins and trying to redeem themselves. "

" Having read and enjoyed so many of Mosley's novels, I found this one disappointing. Not much depth here. I think that Mosley is going the way of so many successful writers and banking on his name instead of his talent to sell books. "

" did not like this book too much "

" Love Mosely - the writing is undemanding, but hits you ebery so oaften with complex ideas, unusually placed and expressed, especially about race. "

" I wish Mr. Mosley would move the center in regards to his female characters. "

" Mosley doesn't write about crime, he writes about people. Some live on the fringes of society, and some at its heart, and they often dwell in the same human shadows. "

" One of this best work's . Leonid Mcgill is up there with Easy Rollins for sure . "

" the bloke has yet to write a bad book...... "

" Pretty good, but I never connected with Leonid the way I did with Easy, Mouse or Ptolomy. Since his stories are becoming more contemporary as they go along, I'm guessing his next series is going to focus on Leonid's son, looking forward to that. "
