Title: I Just Don't Get It
Product review: Get Shorty is a dull, dull, dull, dull novel. It is so dull I did not sell my copy to a used paperback bookstore and risk exposing this piece of trash on another person. The lead character, Chili Palmer, has no appeal whatsoever and you frankly don't care about his fate or any of the other characters in the book. The story is contrived and totally uninteresting. Like one of the other reviewers, this was my third Leonard novel and it will be my last. His novels are always portrayed as "hilarious" and "exciting". Well, I don't laugh and I don't get tense. How he and his agent have snowed publishers and Hollywood I will never understand. Carl Hiaasen writes rings around this guy.
