A review by edustoryramos24
Get Shorty by Elmore Leonard

4.0

The height of Leonard´s art and the start of his celebrety, courtesy of the film adaptation featuring John Travolta, Get Shorty reveals Leonard succumbing to the postmod siren´s song, telling of a con within a screenplay within another screenplay within the novel itself. It is certainly Leonard´s most complex work, but all the entertaining one liners and film/music namedropping nothitstanding, my favourite Leonard´s novels remain Swag and The Big Bounce.
