    Pronto

    This is only my third Leonard novel so don't take my next line that seriously, but Pronto may be among his best work. Part of it comes from the fact that I love the show Justified and also because Pronto is such a great book. Characters, dialogue, prose, this book has it all. Definitely recommend it.

    Highly Recommended

    Fans of Elmore Leonard already know about this book but I recommend it for fans of the TV series 'Justified.' The book gives some insight to the Raylon Givins character and some of the episodes of the show. However, be aware that the Timithoy Oliphant character on TV is not quite the same as how Leonard envisioned the character.

    fun read

    If you enjoy the tv series "justified" you will enjoy this first book in Elmore Leonard's "Raylan Givens" series.

    I am a big fan of the show Justified so I wanted to read the books that the show was based on. I was not disappointed!

    Pronto is the book that introduces Raylan Givens from the TV ser

    Pronto is the book that introduces Raylan Givens from the TV series, Justified.  It's a great mob versus the 'good guy' story.  Raylan tends to do everything 'his way' and on his own moral judgments.  When a bookie, Harry, is set -up by the Feds to draw in more bad guys, Raylan decides that 'fair is not fair' here.  Raylan goes off to Italy to 'bring back' the bookie, and to save him from a mob hit.




    The character descriptions are marvelous, and Raylan's 'biography' is apply drawn throughout the story as he gets to know Harry's girlfriend---soon to be Raylan's girlfriend.  The bad guys range from those looking for any little excuse to kill people, to the big talkers who wimp out when the action calls for gunfire.




    Scenes in Italy are interspersed with stories of the poet, Ezra Pound.  Beauty for one person becomes boredom and confusion for others.  Like all great 'bad versus good' hero stories, the good guys win in the end!!  If you like the TV series, this is a must read for you!!!
