A review by martyfried
Get Shorty by Elmore Leonard

5.0

A fun book, and if I remember correctly, a fun movie. I didn't remember the details of the movie, only that I liked it, and it had a great cast of characters. I like John Travolta's movies, in spite of his Scientology affiliation. I'm not the type of person to turn against someone because of their beliefs unless I know their beliefs have harmed others. I'm not much good at supporting the cancel culture that is so popular on social media. Anyway, I think of Travolta in the book, which probably helped make it better.

The dialog is fast and furious, humorous, and clever. I think that's one of Elmore Leonard's strong points. But the ending was a little strange and a bit confusing. I probably didn't quite understand it as well as I should.
