Books read in 2022: No. 6 -- Freaky Deaky

by Elmore Leonard

Started: Feb 15
Finished: March 4

Notes: Here's yet another author I've been meaning to experience for some time now, so here goes.

Mini review: A pair of '70s radicals get out of prison in the '80s and decide to make some money and have some revenge. Meanwhile, a cop is on their tails ... along with a few other characters. This read like a Tarantino movie, so Leonard's influence on Tarantino is obvious. The writing style here was good and the characters interesting, but for some reason or other I really couldn't get into it, though I'd be willing to give the author another shot. I'd also like to point out this was published back in the '80s, so it was interesting to see that take on some of the '70s vibe.
