This might be the only story where I actually enjoyed the movie far more than the book. It could be that I’m biased because I grew up watching the movie, but it feels more concise and poignant. The book felt a bit longer than it needed to be. I did appreciate some of the glimpses into the old, small town southern life like the articles from Dot interspersed throughout. Overall it wasn’t bad, but it did make me just want to watch the movie again.
