Ordell Robbie makes a fine living selling illegal high-powered weaponry to the wrong people. Jackie Burke couriers Ordell's profits from Freeport to Miami. But the feds are on to Jackie - and now the aging, but still hot, flight attendant will have to do prison time or play ball, which makes her a prime 'loose end' that Ordell needs to tie up...permanently.

Assessment Out Of Books Rum Punch (Ordell Robbie & Louis Gara #2)

The Flight Attendant And The Bail BondsmanElmore Leonard's novel "Rum Punch" (1992) tells a tangled tale of crime, violence and double-crossing written in a punchy style with sharp dialogue. The plot is confusing to follow at first, but it works out. Most of the story is set in West Palm Beach, Florida; but the setting is not the primary focus of the book. The main interest of the work lies in the snappy writing and in the characters and their relationships.While the book is full of sexual

After all these years, my first Elmore Leanord book.What a Punch it packs! Narrative form is truly different, even the tense of what someone speaks, and perspective can change in a heartbeat, so effective. The dialogue pops, makes you really see the characters, makes you laugh out loud:    "Man, this shit works on my nerves," Ordell said. "Tells me I should change the plans around. First thing, I have to find somebody to take Simone's place."    "Don't look at me," Louis said.    "I'm not

I recall someone saying how Elmore Leonard isn't old school `cause he built the school. Very true. My favorite Elmore Leonard novels are Tishomingo Blues and Pagan Babies; Rum Punch is my very favorite, thus this review. Also, in addition to reviewing the book, let me plug the audiobook read by Joe Mantegna. The voice of Joe Mantegna is pitch-perfect, his rhythm and inflections capturing each of the characters, male and female, as well as the mood and charged atmosphere of the entire story.

This is classic Elmore Leonard story telling.Leonard takes the phrase Theres no honour amongst thieves and cranks it up more than a few notches. All the characters here are villains. Some are nice and some are down right horrible but theyre all villains just the same.One of the horrible villains, Ordell Robbie, is a gun dealer with a great deal of money banked off shore, $500,000.00. to be exact. He wants to get his hands on his money and with the help of some of his nefarious friends sets up a

This is absolutely a high point in a career full of them. Like always, though, I find Leonard's stuff hard to review because all of his books, to one degree or another, are variations on a theme: double- and triple-crosses perpetrated by A) a shrewd woman, B) a world-weary guy (who typically has the hots for the shrewd woman), C) a couple incompetent villains, and D) assorted other Miami and/or Detroit lowlifes. And of course all of it is shot through with Leonard's unerring ear for dialogue.Rum

What a hoot & a holler! This over-the-top crime novel is filled with interesting characters--some are low-lifes, some are on the borderline between honest and criminal, some are just getting by as best they can, etc. Leonard's dialogue is a treat, of course, as is his plot. The Independent refers to this as "hard-edged pop art," a perfect description. Dead bodies pile up and those still alive do what they must in order to stay that way. And someone is going to end up with a very large bag of

A highly skilful book. Elmore Leonard is a master of this genre. And like Stephen King, having read just one of his book, I have purchased the rest of his crime books. I doubt very many writers are able to animate characters so vividly through dialogue alone. This book also has some wry humorous touches as well. The only reason why is was not a five star rating was the decidedly weak ending. You may ask why read this book when you can watch the film 'Jackie Brown' The fact that the movie does
