Summary: One of Elmore Leonard's Finest Novels
Comment: Elmore Leonard may be America's foremost writer for fast-paced spellbinding dialogue and plots. With "Get Shorty" Leonard has produced a modern crime novel classic; a spellbinding, yet hilarious, update of Chandler with some sly, thoughtful commentary on the Hollywood film business. Those unfamiliar with Leonard's prose will be in for a treat. Leonard has crafted some of the best streetwise prose I've come across since reading some of William Gibson's early novels. Leonard has superbly brought to life such interesting characters as mobster Chili Palmer and "B" movie film producer Harry Zim. Regrettably, I haven't seen the film adaptation of "Get Shorty", but judging from other Amazon.com reviews, it is undoubtedly well worth watching.
Rating: 1
Summary: Dead Boring
Comment: I agree with all the one star reviews that this book lacks everything. I've read quite a few E. Leonard books and enjoyed most of them. This was his worst so far.
Rating: 5
Summary: Not a bad note in the bunch
Comment: This musical novel doesn't have one sour note in it. This is Leonard's best with "Tishomingo Blues" following up behind and "Mr. Paradise" right behind that.
The best thing about "Get Shorty" is that Leonard manages to get you to like even the bad guys--something most other writers can't manage. G.S. is a great crime novel and by far Mr. Leonard's best.
Also try "Fight Club" "Bark of the Dogwood," and "Tishomingo Blues."
