A Single Man by Christopher Isherwood
4.0
The movie is one of my favourites. It is really interesting getting into the characters head, as I hoped, because there are so many nuances acting can get across only so much. The plot seemed, from what I remember, almost exactly the same as the movie; it’s been some time but I am pretty sure the dialogue is close to verbatim.
I wonder what the impact would have been like had I read the book first though. You only get one ending, if they are the same. In this case the movie soaked up my emotional responses, mostly. Thoroughly enjoyable to read, especially for the prose.
