Out of Sight

There were too many characters and it became hard to follow at times. I stuck it for the ending, which ended up being incredibly disappointing.

In OUT OF SIGHT, Elmore Leonard again investigates the psyches of quirky criminals, trying to share with us the reasons for their lives of shameless pillage. Jack Foley's bank robbing days seem almost like fun. As a criminal, Jack is thoughtful, non-aggressive, persuasive and cool. His friend, Buddy, this is a buddy story, is also quite nice, faithful, humorous and fey.But the nasty, drug-crazed characters like Maurice cannot be understood. Jive-talkin', ready to kill instantly, these men are ultra-violent, ready to pop the unsuspecting citizen on a whim.But the most interesting psyche in OUT OF SIGHT is Karen Sisco, Jack's pleasant, hard-nosed, U.S. Marshall fantasy woman. Karen is attracted to cool, whether the male be a criminal or a citizen. Cool is her description of Jack: he's laid-back, non-controlling, daring and manly, a criminal-type but still warm and gentle with soul mates. Karen's big decision involves Jack and her duties as a police officer. Her big question: can she due her duty and arrest Jack?We have to wait to the last few pages to find out. And that's why the tension builds and why this book rates 5 stars. If you hate violence, you might want to shut your eyes during the final few pages.Larry Rochelle, Author of the mysteries DEATH & DEVOTION, TRACETRACKS and DANCE WITH THE PONY

This is an amazing well written book. I couldn't put it down. READ THIS WONDERFUL BOOK. Highly Recomended

This is a great book I think it is a very romantic story about 2 totally different people that fall in love and realize that they can't and it is a really good book.I love it and I'm sure you will too.

Leonard sets up a great story with a strange love story and a great cast of characters. This book is Leonard's best. This is a page turner that even when you finish you want to start it all over again. Once again Leonard brings you in with his dialoge and pleases you with the exciting story. Thank you Elmore ; you keep writing them and I'll keep reading.

The best book I have read all year. From the interactions between Karen and Glen to Snoopy and White boy Bob, you get a real feel for what prison does to a man
