Title: This is an advertisement for the book the movie the . . .
Product review: Ever get the feeling that you are being sold something without even knowing it? Halfway through Get Shorty, I thought, well, SOMETHING AMAZING MUST BE ABOUT TO HAPPEN, because otherwise, this book is the most mundane, run of the mill paint-by-numbers crime novel ever written by a human or (I suspect) a computer. Ooooh, the Cuban man pronounces the F-word "Fock." How insightful! In a sense, I guess Leonard achieves the feat of mirroring in print the superficiality and semi-literacy of modern America. But with Dean Koontz still cranking out the page-burners, I'm not sure we need another reminder of our artistic bankruptcy. My recommendation is Don't Steal This Book.
