Leonard's Westerns are the real deal!Von RK HawkinsIt is unbelievable, but true: put your hands on a Leonard western once and you won't be able to get away from them before you've read all there are - once you pop, you can't stop.To my knowledge, there are eight Leonard westerns available at :1. Gunsights2. The Bounty Hunters3. Hombre4. Valdez is Coming5. Last Stand at Saber River6. Escape from Five Shadows7. The Law at Randado8. Forty Lashes Less OneRead them all. That's all I have to say. Read them all and find out just how good they are for yourselves. This is addicting stuff. Cocaine is nothing, compared with a western penned by Elmore Leonard.0 von 0 Kunden fanden die folgende Rezension hilfreich. The script for a great movieVon H. KraussMany of us may have first known it as Martin Ritt's classic Western from 1967 starring Paul Newman. Reading the book you have to try NOT to visualise the scenes in the film. So what can one say, great adaptation!The only major differences are the introductory mustanging scenes in the film and the narrative perspective in the book. Great vehicle for introducing Elmore Leonard's cut-glass dialogue, pushing from one turning point to the next with a minimum of descriptive narrative. Again the "eye-witness" perspective. A great novel and a tremendously enjoyable read.0 von 0 Kunden fanden die folgende Rezension hilfreich.
