Tishomingo Blues by Elmore Leonard
3.0
A bit disappointing as an Elmore Leonard story, but still full of the witty dialogue and quirky characters that fans will appreciate. If this is your first exposure to Leonard, you should probably move on to something more engaging and impressive, such as [b:Rum Punch|240910|Rum Punch|Elmore Leonard|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1349064079s/240910.jpg|2242] or [b:The Hot Kid|85207|The Hot Kid (Carl Webster, #1)|Elmore Leonard|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1316544098s/85207.jpg|1838381]. But if you're an Elmore Leonard usual, this is familiar territory.
However, I think the familiarity is why I only give this book 3 stars. It does nothing exceptional other than offer Leonard's usual unique style of writing, very simplistic and forward, and I felt as if I could just change the characters' names to others from other Leonard novels and they could possibly be the exact same character.
Regardless, I enjoyed the story, laughed out loud more than once, held my hand over my mouth a few times, and might even recommend it to other Elmore Leonard fans.
