" ok, formulistic, but this is where the formula came from :D "

" Just ok, kind of weird book with the main character, Jack Ryan being a criminal and not all that likable. "

" I'm glad to see that many people say this is not one of Elmore's best. I found it difficult to stay interested in the story and ended putting it down about 3/4 of the way through. This was my first read of Elmore Leonard. Based on the fact that so many people praise him, I may try one of his newer writes. "

" I'm slowly becoming a big Elmore Leonard fan. He writes solid, modern crime fiction about interesting people who rarely do the expected. It doesn't hurt that the dialog is usually a joy to listen to. This was one of his first after an early start writing westerns, about an ex-con/ex-baseball player and a thrill-seeking kept woman. How they fit and how they don't kept me engossed throughout. "

" Not one of his best. Too hard to figure where the inevitable scam is coming from. "

" definitely not my favorite Leonard book but still find myself not putting it down "

" An old Leonard tale from 1969. Very pulpy with cardboard characters. Some fun and oddball moments but forgettable. Great thing that Leonard got better and better with time. "

" Always well written, always well plotted, Leonard writes about people on the fringe. These two central characters are beyond the fringe. "

" The only Elmore Leonard I didn't like. Seems unfinished. And it was a movie, too? "

" Elmore Leonard's characters drive his stories. That is one of the things I like best about his books. People are far from perfect. Scruples are compromised. Things happen. And all the while the voice telling the story is as cool as can be. I have never been disappointed with Leonard's books. "

" This book was largely boring and did not hold my interest well, but it was on cd and a large part of that had to do with the fact that the person narrating spoke in a monotone most of the time. The end was not very good either. "

" Very clever. I always love Elmore Leonard. "

" Not one of his best, but a decent beach read. I was confused by how dated it felt until I realized that I had a reprint of a 1969 novel. That explains a lot - he has really progressed as a writer since then. "

" I've taken a crack at reading this book a couple of times and I just don't connect with it. "

" This was actually pretty disappointing for an Elmore Leonard book. I wouldn't recommend it unless you are a hardcore Leonard fan. "

" Recommended by James Madison. Sharp characters utterly foreign to me. Well paced story with modern ending, as in no ending. "

" Apprentice work or Elmore Leonard. A warm-up. "

" A good book, immensely hard to find but worth reading if you liked the movie or Leonard's work. "
