Get Shorty

I just finished the book Get Shorty by Elmore Leanord, and can't wait to see the movie. This was a great book about a loan shark from Brooklyn who moves to Miami, then L.A. and becomes involved in the movie business. I read the New York Times book review for this book, called "The Shylock is the Good Guy" by Nora Ephron. Although the review was not written very well, I do agree with the point it made that this was a great book. The review jumps from event to event in the book very fast in the beginning, but evens out when it gets to the main part of the book. When Chili Palmer, the main character, becomes a representative for a famous movie producer, the heat is on. The review gives information about the characters, but does not go all of the way through. For instance, its description of one of the characters is "a female lead who used to scream at slime people in Harry Zimm's movies...". Personally, I do not thank that it was written very well and does not seem like a professional author. Fortunately for her, she was still writing a review on a great book.
