Tishomingo Blues Audiobook

" Not my typical choice, but being from Memphis, related to locations in book. Enjoyed it "

" Typical Elmore Leonard. Reads almost like a screenplay "

" This book is Leonard's joke on his fans. Just exactly how many characters can you introduce in a book and still try to make the plot work? He hit the limit here. "

" Sharp, witty, clever, funny...perfect in its execution. Every time I start a long-winded fantasy novel, get 40 pages into it and chuck it away, I know I can rely on Mr Leonard to deliver the fictional goods. Allows me to keep the faith in fiction. "

" I am normally a huge Elmore Leonard fan, but this one fell flat for me for some reason. "

" Loved it, but then I love most of his stuff. "

" This is Leonard at his best. Interesting characters and fast, witty dialogue. THe plot involves a professional high diver working at a casino in Mississippi. Does that sound unusual? Well it works just fine. "

" Leonard has too many books to comment on, but this is one that stands out. Crazy themes, that in the end seem to always work out for Leonard. If you ask me, one of his best. "

" Leonard is up to his old tricks with realistic gangsters and likeable main characters but I had a hard time getting into all of the Civil War reinactments. If you can get through that it's a quick read and worth your time as is usually the case with Leonard. "

" Listened to it on tape while working. "

" I've always wanted to read an Elmore Leonard book because of the movies based on his stories. This was a good summer read, and explored the world of Civil War re-enacters so it was intriguing. It was a perfect beach/airplane read "

" Excellent book of short stories "

" I always read Elmore Leonard.A guaranteed good read.And he is the master of the art of writing dialogue. "

" I enjoyed the writing, but didn't understand the story. "

" High-dive pulp. Not especially memorable, but decently characterized and briskly written as per Leonard's standard. "

" Takes place in Tunica, Mississippi. "

" Not Leonard's best, it doesn't help that the protagonist is little more than an observer for the most part, while the real interest lies in the (typically Leonardesque) cast of great supporting characters. A brisk and entertaining read nonetheless. "

" Not Elmore Leonard's best book.. it's a long way from "Get Shorty". "

" I love Elmore Leonard cause he writes real, nitty gritty hard core crime usually involving bad guys who are to inept to be considered hard core. "

" strange and delicious! what a vivid imagination. entertaining read. cant compare the story to anything else i've ever read. not saying phenomenal...just very different. "

" typically solid leonard novel. this one was supposed to be adapted into a film with Brad Pitt and Don Cheadle, but never happened. "

" This is the first Elmore Leonard book I've read. I will not wait so long next time. "

" Another good one from Leonard, with just enough details about Mississippi casinos, Civil War reenactors, and stunt high diving to make the whole thing plausible, and offbeat. He might just be the go-to crime novelist for me. "

" I LOVE the character development in all of Elmore Leonard's books...almost makes you feel as if you've met them/.... "

" Elmore Leonard's sense of the way people speak is uncanny. Great dialogue. "

" Mildly entertaining novel by this overrated thriller writer. "

" This is Leonard at his best, and they don't come any better for crime/adventure books that speak quietly and cut like a serrated blade. "

" Excellent book of short stories "
