3.0 out of 5 stars
A decent potboiler, but does not follow the movie word-for-word,
By EnglishTeacher "scubabear" (EnglishSpeakingCountry) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rain Man: Sampler (Penguin Joint Venture Readers) (Paperback)
This novelization of the film "Rainman" (Dustin Hoffman, Tom Cruise) is a fairly good read, despite some objectionable product plugs between its pages.
The novelization does not strictly follow the film's storyline and dialogue, so if you are expecting a script reference work, look elsewhere. The writing is not great writing-- there is imagery and insight, but not to a remarkable degree. There is a little story embellishment compared to the film, but not much. This is, however, a cleanly written and logically coherent potboiler-- far better than, for example, the abominable novelization of "Speed 2: Cruise Control". (There are three novelizations of "Speed 2: Cruise Control", from separate authors. At least one contains major plotpoint errors, spelling mistakes, and boring writing.) This review refers to the ISBN 0-451-16284-6395 edition of "Rainman" by Leonore Fleischer. |
