Title: Maximum Bob
Author: Elmore Leonard
Did I listen or read?: library book
When did I finish?: July 22, 2012
When was the book published: 1991
Main Characters: judge Bob Gibbs, wife Leanne, Kathy Baker, probation officer, Dale Crowe, Elvin Crowe, Dr. Tommy Vasco and Hector, Dicky Campau, cop Gary Hammond
What happens? Gibbs is sick of his wife and hires Dicky to bring an alligator to their house to scare her off. It's close to a Carl Hiassen novel - a bunch of nut cases in Florida. The alligator goes bananas, and joins the list of potential murderers of the judge.
How long was this? 406 pages
Did I like this? darn tootin. I love the rambling Leonard style, a little bit hard to latch on to the characters except Kathy and Gary. Fast paced story, zipped right through it.
Overall grade: B+
