THE BIG BOUNCE (Elmore Leonard) - April 2/23

 Sigh. This one started out pretty well but I just completely lost interest maybe a third of the way through. It just wasn't interesting, for the most part, and Leonard spends a lot of time describing things I found tedious. And the abrupt conclusion is almost comically unsatisfying. (I had to do some googling to see if the final chapter was cut off and I'm still not sure it wasn't.) * out of ****
