Narration Concering Books Raylan (Raylan Givens #3)

US Marshal Raylan Givens investigates a kidney stealing ring, acts as a bodyguard to a beautiful coal mining executive, and tracks down a missing college girl named Jackie Nevada who is a poker player and possibly a bank robber.

Bad Pun Alert: I've only seen the first season of the show starring Timothy Olyphant but I felt reading this book was Justified since I was already aware of Raylan from having read Pronto years ago.

Raylan purports to be a novel but it feels more like three linked novellas. The three cases aren't directly connected but do reference each other and feature some of the same characters. As near as I can tell, only a few characters from Justified are prominently featured: Boyd Crowder, Dewey Crowe, and Art. Ava and Winona have cameo appearances but don't do a whole lot.

Of the three cases, I'd say the first was my favorite. Kidneys being stolen seemed kind of hokey until I got into the story and Raylan did his thing. Layla was a pretty interesting foil to our lawman. The second case, Raylan acting as a bodyguard to Carol Conlan, was pretty good but did more to flesh out Harlan than it did anything else. Boyd Crowder was good in it, of course. The third case was almost as good as the first and it did manage to tie together a couple plot threads from the other two. Funny how everyone but Delroy Lewis knew how that was going to turn out.

From what I've read, Elmore Leonard gave an ARC of Raylan to the writers of Justified and told them to mine it for parts. If they use the parts I think they will, the next couple seasons of Justified are going to be pretty spectacular.

So, how do I justify giving this a four? It felt a little stiff in places compared to the earlier Elmore Leonards I've recently read, Swag and 52 Pickup. It's also a little short at less than 270 pages. I also caught a couple editing mistakes, like maybe this was rushed out to coincide with the third season of Justified. All in all, I've got no big complaints. Raylan should appeal to fans of Justified and Elmore Leonard alike.

Post-Justified Season 2 Edit: While nursing a hangover, I managed to watch the bulk of Justified Season 2. The Carol Conlan case clearly was the source for a lot of the Black Pike storyline in season two. Lots of lines of dialogue and some characters were borrowed from the other stories.

Column Epithetical Books Raylan (Raylan Givens #3)

I always felt, you dont have a good time doin crime, you may as well find a job. Elmore Leonard, Raylan I'm just going to review this really quick. Raylan is built on three main stories/episodes that are all loosely tied together. It wasn't the best Elmore Leonard out there, and in some ways this novel seems destined to suffer from the success of the Raylan Givens franchise (see F/X series). The novel almost seemed written with the guarantee of options that the book would get used in the

In coal country Kentucky, Raylan stalks small time hustlers. Raylan contains three novellas about rural crime, a badge who shoots to kill, and aggressively plain talk. The ingredients of this contemporary western promise more than they deliver: the first section is about criminals who attack people, remove their kidneys, and sell them back; the second is about protecting a representative of a coal company; the last is about a poker player. I found the section about the coal company employees the

I am a big fan of the regretfully finished series Justified and this is just one of the wonderful Elmore Leonard stories in this collection.

Raylan Givens, US Marshal, looks up a weed dealer in a hotel room only to find him sat in a tub with ice and his kidneys missing. From there a twisting trail of murder, blackmail, land dispute, and cards unfolds taking in everyone from an elderly drug baron operating out of a food stamps store to a disgruntled nurse who decides to strike out on her own, to a band of bank robbing gals, and a poker playing girl called Jackie Nevada with her ace in the hole. Elmore Leonard's back and he's packing

I liked the book quite a bit. However, I'd already seen seasons 2 and 3 of Justified, so I'd already seen one incarnation of many of the actions that took place in the book. The book was written first, and the writers on the show cannibalized portions of it for the show, with some changes. I probably would have enjoyed the book more if I hadn't seen these scenes played out already. I will also say that the cast of Justified did an excellent job of bringing these pieces to life.

What fun! 263 pages worth of daydreaming about Elmore Leonard's character Raylan Givens, aka actor Timothy Oliphant, star of FX's tv series "Justified". I have to state for the record, that I have a soft spot for US Marshall Raylan Givens, the epitome of Kentucky cool. A perfectly shaped cowboy hat, blue jeans and a Glock-along with considerable wit and charm, and a certain level of fearlessness-these are the tools master storyteller Elmore Leonard gives his hero in Raylan. This novel is the

Like many people I came to know Raylan Givens on the TV show Justified. During the first season I ran down Pronto , Riding the Rap , and even When the Women Come Out to Dance . The Raylan I met there wasn't precisely the Raylan I got to know in Justified (though I did see familiar plotting and even story).I've followed the program and liked the second season (though not quite so much as I did the first). The third season is so far good, so when came out I snapped it up.It's a good read.
