Notes:A producer of reality TV series finds out about Dortmunder and the gang and talks them into filming the planning and carrying-out of a heist. The gang insists on robbing a warehouse owned by the same company that is making the show so that, if they get caught, they'll have an out. But they also discover that the company keeps a lot of cash on the floor beneath the warehouse, so while the show is being filmed, they plan the real heist. They pull it off on the day before the show is cancelled because the CEO decides it glorifies criminals, and Dortmunder and his gang are paid off—and keep the loot.
My Rating: 6

Review - Get Real

Pretty weak. The reality show of the heist wouldn't really work, and a lot of the book waste's times discussing the sets and script of the show, all of which is boring. There are also a couple of chapters given over to minor characters who have no purpose in the plot.
