The 39 Steps by John Buchan
4.0
Buchanan’s novel was a thrilling man-on-the-run read, and it was fascinating to see how Hannay escaped time and time again through his masterful use of disguise. You do need to suspend belief a little as there are many ‘too good to be true’ circumstances and I found the ending slightly disappointing. Very interesting to read a novel that spurned a whole genre of spy thrillers.
It seems like many other readers didn’t think it lived up to the movie. I’ve never seen the movie, but it seems to me that the people who enjoyed the movie more than the book largely did so because of the romance and sex appeal.
