Pagan Babies (8)

Pagan Babies
Elmore Leonard
read 4/14/08

My first Leonard novel of the year.. and not his strongest work. An odd ball bunch of characters, but you don't get real attached to any of them. A cool twist on this, but some of the details seem to come out too fast, then you wonder where this is going.. everybody had their own angle, but somehow this just doesnt work for me. I hate to say it, but not one of his better works.. it was enjoyable, just not as much as some of his other books.
One intersting twist.. Dutch is keeping up on Detroit in his books.. worked the MGM Grand into this one. You can see the history of Detroit in his books from Hudsons and the Book Cadillac in Swag, to modern day Detroit with the MGM.
