5.0 out of 5 stars PAPER MOON, May 10, 2002

kate (Portland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Paper Moon: A Novel (Paperback)

This is an excellent book. Having long been a fan of the movie, what a joy to discover the book that started it all. Addie Pray is a hilarious and charming narrator and her adventures pulled me happily along. A real treat. For anyone who likes stories of sassy girls growing up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Addie Pray is a wonderful book about life in the Depression., June 7, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Addie Pray (Hardcover)

Addie Pray is the best book I have ever read! It's about Addie, a 12- year- old girl who travels around the South with her "could- be" father Moses Pray. Also made into a movie called Paper Moon with Tatum O'Neal, this is one book that is AS GOOD as the movie!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and complementary, September 3, 2004

R Smith "R Smith" (chicago, il) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Paper Moon: A Novel (Paperback)

Written in the style (and context) of Steinbeck, this book is excellent.

The remarkable thing about the book, though, is that it is one of the few instances where you should read and see both the book and movie. If you liked the movie, the book provides more stories and adventures; if you liked the book, the movie brings the characters, setting, and geography to life.

The book is very readable; in fact, I read all 300 pages in a day! I highly recommend this book; the movie only makes a very good story better.

This book was so good that I was sorry to get to the last pages.. Wished it could have been 600 pages long- Fun story to read. The movie was barely a shadow of the book.
