Maximum Bob
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Another of Leonard's fast paced, witty and charming mysteries accompanied by a cast of charcters who mix, at times, like oil and water. Nevertheless a wonderful read and funny as all get out!
Maximum Leonard
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Crisp, punchy dialogue -- twists in plot that will keep you guessing -- sharply drawn fascinating characters -- and a gator! This is Elmore Leonard at his best. In case you are curious, the title refers to a judge whose proclivity is for giving the maximum sentence allowed by law. Highly recommend this book.

I read this book because I knew Leonard was a master of pacing and I wanted a refresher course. I wasn't expecting the tapestry of characters, the elegant choreography of the plot, the inevitability of both the violence and the redemption at the end. This is sophisticated writing that rocks so well on the page you don't notice how fine it is. If you want to know how to write, study Leonard and Maximum Bob.
GREAT BOOK! GREAT AUTHOR!
