Tishomingo Blues (Abridged) Audiobook

" The best of the best, especially the recorded book version. "

" I actually picked this book up because of its title and the Mississippi connections, since I, too, have Mississippi connections. I found it interesting because of its setting in the little town of Tunica, which has lately become a mecca for casinos. It had an interesting plot and the characters were typical Elmore Leonard. Not his best effort. "

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

" Excellent characters and dialogue drive this work by Leonard. Light and clever, it was a fun ride. "

" Never read any Elmore Leonard before. Figured it was time to give him a try. Interesting plot, I liked it well enough that I think I'll read some more titles before I make a decision about this author. "

" Good story, makes you feel like you are in Mississippi. Loved the re-enactors slant and the good ole boy genre. Looking forward to reading more of his novels. "

" After reading another Elmore Leonard novel (Up in Honey's Room), I was anticipating another fast, fun read. While I enjoyed the book, I found the characters and pace of the plot less engaging than I'd hoped. "

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

" This book was pretty good but not my usual type. It took me a long time to read because I was reading several books at one time. Because of this, and the fact that there are soooo many characters in this book that I often got confused, I can only give this book an average rating. "

" Interesting and pretty original, but not as exciting as I'd expected... "

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

" 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 "

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

" This library Playaway edition made walking a pleasure. "

" Quick read, but not Leonard's best. Plot's about as far-fetched as you can get, and character motivations are often lacking. "

" I loves me some Elmore Leonard, & if you do, too, you'll enjoy this one, too. If you've never tried his superb crime fiction, this is a good a place to start as any. "

" 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. "

" It was a fun read with civil war re-enactments, murder & mayhem. What more could you ask for. As always a little humor goes a long way. "

" Rather confusing book.I was disappointed "

" Glad to have rediscovered E. Leonard. Not really 4 stars, but pretty good story of a diver who plummets into a criminal group who are re-enacting civil war battles....I liked the main characters, the voices were right on key. Leonard has a great ear. "

" Listened to it on tape while working. "

" 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. "

" 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. "

" I think I would read a grocery list if Elmore Leonard wrote it with dialogue. My only problem with any Leonard book is that once I've committed to the language, then the characters, I can't stop. Dammit Elmore, I have to go to work tomorrow morning! "

" Excellent book of short stories "
