Review title: Very disappointing novel from a good writer
Product review: I looked forward to this novel being familiar with the author and the fabulous review snippets on the inside on the front cover. I found the plot to be shallow and every charachter a stereotype. What does the long digression into "blues history and theory" have to do with the plot? Why do the antagonists wait for a civil war reanactment to have their battle, why not just have a shoot-out in the bar? The main character, Dennis, is strangely passive and loved by all, for no apparent reason.Southernors are dumb, blacks are hip and mexicans street smart.Read some of Leonard's early works not this one.
