Elmore Leonard Raylan Givens 3-Book Collection - Pronto

I bought this 3 book collection for Kindle because it seemed like a great deal. Admittedly, I was only drawn to Elmore Leonard's writing because I've become a big fan of the TV show "Justified", which draws its main character from Leonard's work.

Both "Pronto" and "Riding the Rap" are average novels, at best. There's not too many characters to keep track of, so both are fairly easy to read. I doubt if anyone will be engrossed enough with either novel enough to "not put down." At times, each novel has some great dialogue, while at other times, it just seems like the author is trying too hard. I think "Riding the Rap" is the better of the two full-length works here.

I'll probably read Leonard's later work "Raylan" soon, and that will probably be the last novel by him that I read.

I read these because I love Justified. Not the same fix but good in a different way. The writing is different than what I expected but still overall enjoyable read. I almost liked the stories that did not include Raylan Givens better! Did not love the price. I can still recommend it.

Havent been this disappointed in any books in years ( if ever ). Slow moving plots , boring characters , inane descriptions , and on and on we go. How anyone ever saw any reason to make this drivel into a television series is beyond me ( and yet it is my favorite show on TV).
Did I mention boring ?? I actually reread quite a few pages , believing I must be missing something in Leonards writing
but no , it was just as bad the second time.

Elmore Leonard is one of the greatest crime fiction authors. He ranks at the top along with Michael Connelly and Lee Child. Raylan Givens is one of Leonard's best characters. These books are Leonard classics. You won't be disappointed.Elmore Leonard Raylan Givens 3-Book Collection: Pronto, Riding the Rap, Fire in the Hole
