I rarely read a book after I have already seen the movie because I fail to detach the films interpretations from my own imagination and opinions. With Dead Poets Society being one of my favourite films I decided to give up my preconceived rules and give N.H. Kleinbaum a chance.

She certainly did not disappoint as this book took me on the same emotional rollercoaster as the film. With slight deviations, Dead Poets Society drew me into life as a young man at Welton Academy under the tutelage of Mr Keating. I celebrated their triumphs and cried at the sorrows and fell in love with their friendship.

“O Captain! My Captain!”, I hope to “gather [my] rosebuds while [I] may,” and make my life extraordinary!

agus_c's review against another edition

4.5

It’s almost the same as the movie.

If the author had included the scene where Neil was jumping beds w Todd and the scene where he throws away Todd’s desk set (aka my faves) it would have been 5 stars completely

 
AlSO WATCH THE MOVIE
