  Review | The Hot Kid by Elmore Leonard
Thus begins The Hot Kid, Elmore Leonard's latest, and with those dry-as-dust, matter-of-fact words, we're off once again into ElmoreLand, a bold and colorful place where men are men, women are women, and the good guys and the bad guys are damn hard to tell apart sometimes.
Even on those rare occasions when his characters don't have much to say (as is the case for laidback lawman Carl Webster, the "hot kid" of this book's title) their silence speaks louder and reverberates longer than many authors' best dialogue.
The Hot Kid is also not the sort of novel to have you hanging on the edge of your seat, wondering what will happen next.

 metacritic.com: The Hot Kid
In The Hot Kid, Oklahoma is his version of Shakespeare's enchanted isle in "The Tempest," a brave new world where maids and monsters, outlaws and oilmen, strange creatures all, act out their dubious destinies.
Where so much of Leonard's recent fiction has a sharp, almost hyperrealistic quality, ''The Hot Kid'' is noirish and even a little pulpy at times, in the fashion of 30's movies and detective magazines.
Familiar and strange, The Hot Kid is an expertly crafted, deftly balanced crime novel that engages with its contradictions.

It is the story of Carl Webster, the "hot kid" of the U.S. Marshal's service.
Carl (born Carlos, in honor of his Cuban grandfather, whom he never met, and which itself serves as an important story point) is always polite, respectful, and pleasant.
Unlike some of Leonard's stories, The Hot Kid plays out over several years as characters interact and pass by one another in an interesting dance.

Perhaps it was because not long ago I read "Public Enemies" by Bryan Burrough which deals faction-style with all the infamous criminals of the early thirties and The Hot Kid read like a condensed fictional verison of that book.
Nevertheless Leonard is without doubt one of the great story tellers of our time and this is still a good read.
Elmore Leonard's latest novel, "The Hot Kid," is set in 1930's Oklahoma, against a backdrop of moonshine, speakeasies, mine strikes, oil wildcatters, gangsters, gun molls, prostitutes and plenty of bank robberies.

 The Hot Kid by Elmore Leonard | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle
So it is that at age 79, he inexplicably has pulled off The Hot Kid, one of his finest books in a career that spans decades.
The Hot Kid also marries the duality of Leonard's catalog, fusing the Westerns of his early career to the gangster fare of his later work.
The Hot Kid reads as though it were inspired by Billy the Kid's famous boast/threat: "I'll make you famous." Sure, it has old Western earmarks — good deputy, bad villain, bumbling historian — but its commentary on the nature of stardom has contemporary resonance, particularly in our era fertile with celebrity trials.

 Powell's Books - Review-a-Day - The Hot Kid: A Novel by Elmore Leonard, reviewed by The Atlantic Monthly
The only implausible thing about Leonard's crime novels is the flippancy with which lives are taken, and The Hot Kid is no exception: a man and his lover talk about inconsequential things before he pulls out a gun and shoots her, the scene ending right there as if on a punch line.
It is unlikely that Leonard will be taken to task for it; book reviewers show their respect for older writers by expecting less of them.
(Articles have already appeared that go from an indifferent synopsis to glib flattery about who the real "hot kid" is.) But there's no forgiving the book's air of smugness.
