A review by antij
The Big Bounce by Elmore Leonard

2.0

I'm usually a big Elmore Leonard fan, but I found this story to be entirely lacking. The characters weren't very interesting. There wasn't really much of a plot or conflict. It seems to come down to the fact that Nancy is just bored and has no moral center. But to root for Jack Ryan is difficult in that he seems to want to be better, but continues to go along with Nancy's increasingly immoral ideas because why not? Fortunately, I know that Leonard gets much better than this.
