If you read Leonard's OUT OF SIGHT (or saw the excellent film adaptation with George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez), you'll want to read the sequel. As usual, the 86-year-old Leonard, still at the top his game, builds a story around a regular guy with common sense and questionable characters with questionable sense. Who do you think wins? A deeply pleasurable read that causes you to forget time. I'm with the '80s Philadelphia reviewer (can't remember his name) who said Leonard belongs in the American literary canon. ( )

I like Elmore Leonard, easy reads that make you want to keep reading till the end. This is no exception, but still not on of his best. I'll still buy his next one. ( )

This was my first Elmore Leonard novel. I was surprised at how quickly I tore through the book. His characters jump off the page with their various quirks and the plot kept me saying "just one more chapter" until the book was done. I look forward to reading more of his books in the future. ( )

I generally adore Elmore Leonard books. This one wasn't up to his usual standard. Oh, it was still smooth as silk, witty and inventive, but the characters didn't hook me. Jack Foley from 'Out of Sight' is the only one who isn't stone-cold killer. ( )

I've heard so many great things about this author and I've seen his books all over the place and I know a lot of his books are made into movies(I haven't seen one yet though), so I thought I'd give this particular book a shot. Wrong book to start with I think. I read the first 150 pages and it was complete bore-more like zzzzzz! ( )
