If you've seen the movie and loved it, buy this book because it's even better. If you've seen the movie and hated it, buy this book because it's better. If you haven't seen the movie, go see the movie and then buy this book. It's so good, it turned me into an Elmore Leonard addict. It also made me want to become a bank robber. That idea wore off, the Leonard addiction didn't. I can't recommend this book highly enough. If you like your books fast-paced, all the fat trimmed off so there's nothing to bore you, just one highlight after another, try Elmore Leonard, start here with Out of Sight!
Format:Paperback
this was an enjoyable read. his famous dialogue is up to form - as a wannabe writer, it is galling to see how easy it is for him to create characters with their own identities in so few words. the book rattles along, nothing wasted - it's nearly all plot, and little description. i enjoyed it, but it sometimes felt a little like watching a film on fast forward. there wasn't much time to savour the mood or anything else. and the end was particularly sudden. i would recommend it as a quick easy read, with decent characters, but it's not a classic and unlikely to stay with me for long. but i'm not sure that's what he intended anyway. i think it does exactly what he wanted it to do.
Format:Paperback
This is my first Elmore Leonard book and I was blown away buy how much I enjoyed it.
The dialogue Leonard uses is second to none; slick and believable and the characters are so well written I will definately be buying a lot more from this author.
A perfect accompliment to the film which wont leave you dissapointed.

A Cops and Robbers Romance Born in a Prison Break
Stories about criminals trying to escape from prison have always fascinated me. They have much of the same appeal as a locked room mystery. Read more
