Get Shorty (22)

Get Shorty
Elmore Leonard

HEY! Look at ME!
I got this book (hardcover) soon after it came out in 1990. I great story about Chili Palmer, gangster/loan shard turned Hollywood producer. This was later made into a movie by the same name. Leonard also wrote a 'sequel' to it called Be Cool. I really wanted to read Be Cool, but decided I should re-read Get Shorty first so I was up on the story. Good thing too, because I had forgotten most of the story. A great Leonard story!
