A review by babsellen
The Year of Living Dangerously by Christopher J. Koch

5.0

I saw the movie made from the novel first - it was some years ago. I was very taken by the movie (starring Linda Hunt portraying a man - it works), and that is why I later read the book. It did not disappoint. It offers an important piece of history of a land we Westerners know little about in a moving, compelling story with memorable characters. Highly recommended if you love stories set in different cultures spiced with political intrigue.
