"Fun, but a month later I couldn't remember a single thing about the story. Maybe I read it too fast. After reading the synopsis, it all came back to me. It was a good read, but nothing too original here. It very well could have been an Elmore Leonard novel with someone else's name on it and I would have no idea. Maybe that was the point as a genre piece. I will definitely be looking for his more well-known books, as DJ clearly has some talent."
