Once "24" went off the air I was looking for a gritty adult action series to get hooked on.  And lo & behold: along cameJustified: The Complete First Season [Blu-ray].  Well finally after a few years I broke down and read a Raylan Givens novel.  I picked up this 3-book collection in March of 2012, but just now got around to finally reading the first book: Pronto.Well I agree with several people that Marshall Givens is way cooler on the TV show, but you have to respect where it all started.  I noticed several plot elements in Pronto that found their way onto Season 1 of Justified.  And plenty that did not.As for the story itself, I thought it was okay.  Nothing to get too excited about except the Marshall Givens aspect.  I did not care at all for Arlo (h'mmmm where have I seen that name before), the guy Raylan was trying to track down and then protect.  But Givens came thru okay.I'll update my reveiw after I read each book.  I plan to read several other books before I come back to this collection to read: Riding the Rap (featuring Arlo again...).But I would recommend this collection as a way to read where it all started.P.S.  I picked up this collection for only $4.99 a year ago.  Now it is going for $20 +.  Yikes!
