Mr Majestyk

My first Elmore Leonard novel, and I picked a good one. But, from all the great reviews of his writing, I imagine I could have picked any of them.
One of the main attractions here (and in all of his novels presumably) is the crisp, straight-forward prose. There are absolutely no wasted words here. Leonard pens a tight, 188 page story that keeps your attention the whole way. I didn’t want to put this down, and I really didn’t have to because the reading was easy. That’s the sign of a great writer. I’ll be reading more of his 45 novels.

Another writer for me to try. Is the Charles Bronson movie based on this book?

Yes. And, the movie sticks very close to the book, which is something you don't see very often. Bronson was a great choice to play Majestyk. The casting was pretty good for most of the characters.
