remgrandt 's review for:
A River Runs Through It
by Norman Maclean
Funny now I finally read books for my own pleasure and put off reading books for class.
I watched the movie long ago and many times—it’s my favorite ever. I’m surprised by how much the movie added to the plot of the book. The book is a lot more fishing and a lot less literature, but it wasn’t worse because of it, merely good in a different way.
Reading the book makes me feel as if I’ve attended church, and that the church was out in the mountains or at the dinner table. And as someone who has been to Montana, and also has clambered and camped variously in the mountains around my own home, the book really sweeps my soul into its currents. I absolutely loved it.
