Book Review: Be Cool, John Travolta
Summary: 5 Stars
Another in the great series of Elmore Leonard crime stories, Be Cool is the sequel to Get Shorty, and an innovative story within a story. When the story opens, Chili Palmer has been through a successful film project, and a failed sequel, that have taken him from Brooklyn/Miami gangster to top of the world in Hollywood to just another guy.
Then things get really interesting. After Chili's lunch date is gunned down in front of his eyes, he decides to take control of the deceased's record company and manage a band, described as AC DC meets Patsy Cline. Very quickly Chili makes enemies with the Russian mob, the scorned band manager, his gay Somoan bodyguard, gun-toting rappers, and the police. He solves the problem by setting up his enemies on a collision course with each other.
Elmore knows the world of Hollywood production and deal-making, and shows how a guy from Brooklyn makes all the world a stage. Chili Palmer is only looking to find a good story for a movie, and if that requires crossing some bad guys, well, let's see how it plays out.
