Read about the other books on the list.Get Shorty, by Elmore Leonard
Leonard transports his expert skills as a crime novelist to Hollywood in this dark comedy about a hoodlum who decides he wants to be a part of the movie business. It’s Leonard, so the cast is loaded with colorful characters and the plot is delightfully convoluted. Naturally, it made for a great movie.
Get Shorty made the Telegraph's top ten list of Elmore Leonard film adaptations and Justin Peters's list of five of the dumbest bad guys Elmore Leonard created.
