Maximum Bob

By: Elmore Leonard

Narrated by: Richard Poe

A character so outrageous he could only have come from the ingenious imagination of Elmore Leonard, lewd, lecherous, law-bending Florida jurist Judge Robert “Maximum Bob” Gibbs has been judged guilty by a grudge-bearing malefactor and sentenced to death—by alligator, if necessary. Maximum Bob is a delightfully dark classic thriller from “the greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever” (New York Times Book Review), and any reader who loved getting gleefully lost in criminal mayhem of Get Shorty, Rum Punch, Out of Sight, The Hot Kid, or any number of the inimitable Leonard’s numerous crime fiction masterworks will get maximum enjoyment out of this one.

Excellent Story, Great Characters

I’m really enjoying Elmore Leonard’s books the more and more I read. I was a big fan of Pronto and if you enjoyed that book, I believe you’ll really enjoy this.

Another great story

Terrific author. Excellent story as well as narration. The characters come alive. What a pleasurable way to pass the time.

Great Entertainment

I forgot how much I enjoyed Elmore Leonard until I stumbled on this audio book. I lived in Palm Beach County for years so it's interesting to have a story based in a location you're familiar with...allows you to connect to the story in a unique way. The story is well told drawing the audience in making us laugh. The delivery adds another level of reality as the voice is true to the character. Absolutely loved my time with the story!

Story is non existent

This isn’t even a hangout story it’s just goes on and on and is very boring though it starts so promising but then you realize by two or three hours in it’s not going anywhere. There is no plot and the characters have nothing to do.

great characters

Dutch writes the best dialogue ever. Witty. Unexpected. Authentic. Interesting structure this time out.
