Juri I loved the book also. But most people who are long time fans don’t hold it in the highest regard. Rent the movie if you’ve never seen it. Charles Bronson kicks nothing but major ass in that film.

Maybe there’s something wrong with me, but I’ve always thought MR MAJESTYK was one of Leonard’s better novels. I enjoyed it all the way through and really liked his crisp tone and pacing. Never seen the film, though.

I’ve got all of the Shell Scott books but one, The Sure Thing. I like the ones written in the 80’s as much as the ones from the 50s, they’re just a little bit different is all.

These all sound great, but I really like the first one. I’ve read a little Elmore Leonard and liked what I read. It’s interesting to see something different from him. I’ll have to try to see if I can get this movie. I’m a huge Charles Bronson fan. He was always one of those tough guys I grew up admiring. I remember growing up that we had the local NBC, CBS, and ABC affiliates. Then we had a PBS station. That was it. Cable didn’t even get to this area until I was an adult.
