A review by generalalarm
City Primeval by Elmore Leonard

3.0

This book was a bit of a disappointment compared to others I've read by Leonard. Even more than usual, the use of racial slurs and violence against women is bothersome. The female characters were slightly more active than those in most books of this genre, but not even up to the usual level of strength that Leonard allows them. On the plus side, as usual, the dialogue and language is crisp and the scenarios fascinating. However, even the plot feels a bit disjointed in comparison to the stark simplicity of other stories and novels by the author.
