A review by gonzorama
The Descendants by Kaui Hart Hemmings

4.0

I liked this movie, but I'm most happy I saw it because it led me to a wonderful book I wouldn't have otherwise known about. It is in every way superior to the film: more subtle, sadder, sweeter, and more hilarious. Beautifully written and understated, it made me cry and snort coffee out of my nose. Sounds like Hemmings is working on a couple new books; can't wait to read these too.
