Elmore Leonard : Latest News, Information, Answers and Websites

Has anyone read Out of Sight by Elmore Leonard?

Was it good? And was it similar to the movie?

If anyone can give me a brief summary of the book from beginning to end, that would be really great.

Answer: "The story revolves around the relationship between a career bank robber, Jack Foley (George Clooney), and a U.S. Marshal, Karen Sisco (Jennifer Lopez). They are forced to share her car trunk during Foley's escape from a Florida prison. After he completes his getaway, Sisco chases Foley while he and his friends - his right-hand man, Buddy (Ving Rhames) and Glenn (Steve Zahn) - work their way north to Bloomfield Hills, a wealthy northern suburb of Detroit. There they plan to pay a visit to shady businessman Ripley (Albert Brooks), who foolishly bragged to them years before about a diamond stash at his mansion. But a vicious criminal (Don Cheadle) who also spent time in jail with Jack and Ripley, is planning on hitting up Ripley's mansion with his crew as well. The question of whether Sisco is really pursuing Foley to arrest him or for love adds to "the fun" Foley claims they are having."

That's the basic plot with the actual actors' names, in case you want to watch it. I heard it was pretty good - I never watched it though.

Russell Crowe, who wears the black hat in 3:10 to Yuma, is a native of New Zealand. Christian Bale, the good guy, was born in Wales.

I like these books, can you suggest another Id like?

Im looking for a seriously good book to read and Im always distrustful of reviews. I thought if I gave a short list of books I really enjoy then maybe you guys could recommend others.

So, here are some of my favourite books as of this year

The Buddha of Suburbia - Hanif Kuereshi
The Time Travelers Wife - Audery Neiffenegger
Jude the Obscure - Thomas Hardy
Gullivers Travels - Jonathan Swift
Freaky Deaky - Elmore Leonard
The Gormenghast Trilogy - Mervyn Peake

Ok, I know that list isnt exactly suggestive of a single genre but I figured Id pick books representative of a range of tastes. Any input as to future purchases would be most appreciated.

Answer: Any book by Bryce Courtenay. I specifically recommend "The Power of One" or " The Potato Factory" they are both the first books in a trilogy.

Readers! Please tell me which author does dialogue best?

Im thinking Elmore Leonard

I am looking for well written stories/novels by established authors, in the public domain or not. No vampires (unless it is Anne Rice), trashy novels, 50 Shades of Grey, Twilight, Modern YA, or anything available only as an ebook. Thank you.

Anyone posting Hemingway automatically takes themselves out of running for BA!

Thank you!
OMG - (((Occulty)))!!!! How could I forget your dialogue??? Youre right, Peter Straub is another good one!

Answer: Twain, London, Dickens, Cornwell, DeMille, Shakespeare, Conroy, and Sheldon all do dialogue well.

If you are looking for classics only, I will say Dickens.
