Jon Nixon reviewed Hombre by Elmore Leonard
Review of 'Hombre' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
A fine book (definitely recommended) but with some annoying quirks. Great story, great characters, great action sequences, and most of all a great hero who manages to be fascinating despite saying almost nothing throughout the novel. On the downside, the lead villain shows great promise but disappears for most of the last third of the story (I seem to remember him being scarier in the movie) and the narrator can be really annoying (even telling you which characters are going to die before it happens). Still worth reading though.
