Better and Worse than movie. 549 PAGES. Book has more plot lines, characters and portrays all characters in VERY GREAT (most times too much) detail. The movie used "word-for-word" the great, funny dialog used in the book. Hard to put book down because the ending becomes more and more evident that it will be different than movie. Although beautifully written, 40% of the content could be deleted and still tell this very compelling story.

If you seen the movie and loved the movie then this book offers a lot more of what was left out of the movie. More insight to all the character's minds, more humor, and a lot more of everything. Not something to pass up. One of the best reads ever. Just like the uplifting movie, this book I will read quite a few times. If not just to put me in a good mood when life is getting me down. Can't wait to read "Everybody's Fool". I just ordered it.

If you like Richard Russo's books, you will very much enjoy this novel. Check out the Paul Newman movie.
