Lots of fun. I saw Jackie Brown in the theater and knew I'd like this book. Of course the book is better! More plot twists and Leonard has a way of presenting his characters that make them quite memerable. A great book to have on a rainy weekend.

Classic characters, and basis for Quentin Terrantino's movie Jackie Brown. The movie is pretty faithful to the book.
