First Sentence
Karla hesitated in the doorway of the adobe, then pushed open the screen door and came out into the sunlight as she heard again the faint, faraway sound of the wagon; and now she looked off toward the stand of willows that formed a windbreak along the north side of the yard, her eyes half closed in the sun glare and not moving from the motion-less line of trees.

5.0 out of 5 stars If You Don't succeed At First, April 17 2003

By	Max Inman (holland, mi. U.S.A) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Leonard is a great writer, I love his stories. At times you have to pay very close attention to what he is saying or you might get lost. Leonard is not the type of writer to tell you over and over again what he wants to tell you just so he can get in a few more lines. Often times I have to reread a page because I was not paying attention. In 5 Shadows the main character, Corey Bowen keeps trying to escape the prison, thus my title to this review. Corey is going to get help from a lady who has murder on her mind. After his freedom he then settles some scores permanently. A very good book.

2.0 out of 5 stars BORING!!!!!, Sep 12 2002

By	Mac Blair "Mac Blair" (Huntingdon, TN USA) - See all my reviews

I have read several westerns by Leonard, this is the worst one I have read. Corey Bowen is trying to escape from the prison camp Five Shadows. He tries and is caught but does he give up, NO. He lives to try again. Page after page is spent talking about the escape. A girl he has seen one time, Karla Demery, likes his looks and contacts an Attorney to see if he will help him. The Attorney agrees and has a new trial set up when Bowen tries another break out. The big villian is Frank Renda who is in charge of the prison. He and his side kick will shoot you for nothing and call it an attempted excape. The book was slow, I found my self wanting to skim pages to just get it over with. If this happenes to be the first Leonard book you have read don't think they are all like this one. He does write some good westerns.
