Established in 2007 by the Leatherby Libraries, the Community of Readers is the summer reading program for Chapman University. This program is open to everyone who has borrowing privileges at the Leatherby Libraries and a current library account, including students, faculty, staff, and alumni. Members select books from the Leatherby Libraries and receive prizes upon submission of their first review. The only requirement is that books must be obtained through the Leatherby Libraries.

RatingHighly Recommended
Book ReviewI've never seen this movie (or the new TV show), but my recollection of it has long prevented me from reading this Elmore Leonard novel. This was a mistake.

This book deftly weaves Leonard's cast of the desperate and criminal, and inserts them into the movie industry.

It's clear that the many adaptations of Leonard's work inform this story, and it's better off because of it. Now I just have to get around to watching the movie.
