Book: Pronto
Author: Elmore Leonard
Pages: 400
This is my 11th book of the year
This is the story of Raylan Givens. Raylan is an US Marshall and he is off to Italy to chase a bookie who is hiding from the Miami mob. Harry - who was planning to retire to Italy some day decides now is the time - has escaped Raylan's grasp once before. Raylan knows Harry is tricky, but not careful. Raylan knows he must find Harry before the mob does.
This was a boring book. I was disappointed because I love Justified. After watching the newest season, I went on the hunt for the books about Raylan Givens. What I have discovered is this is not the book that the show is based on. And that show is loosely based on just one book in the Raylan Givens series. Wish I would have known that before I listened to this because this was a rambling, boring story that was more like a story you tell in a barber's chair than a crime fiction novel.
I might hunt out the one that is based on the show to see if it is any better.
