A review by jldelozier
Road Dogs by Elmore Leonard

3.0

A "sort of" sequel to "Out of Sight", this book adds more to the story of charming bank robber, Foley. As I mentioned in my review of "Out of Sight," I, as a traditionalist, have trouble adapting to Leonard's distinctive sentence structure, lack of punctuation and so forth. Yet he is a master of dialogue, and even as I read the book, thinking to myself all along that I couldn't stand his style of writing, I couldn't stop reading. His characters are interesting and believable, and I wanted to know what happened to them. Now that I've finished this book, the only other Elmore Leonard I plan to read is his non-fiction rules on writing, but I'll probably avoid his other novels. However, his style is a matter of personal taste, so if you read one and like it - go for it!
