First title was: Woe to Live On,
By
This review is from: Ride With the Devil (Paperback)
Ride with the Devil was a reprint of Woe to Live On, Woodrell's first novel. Ang Lee, a masterful director (Sense and Sensibility, etc.) directed the story of the Bushwhackers, a kind of army that fought during the Civil War in the Ozarks of Missouri. There are many battlesites in Missouri and Arkansas that are marked like more famous conflicts such as Gettysburg.
These guys were farmers, their homes were looted and burned, women and children killed, they were the terrorists of their time. The book is rich in the language of the era, and Woodrell's style is both lyrical and tight. He is a most underappreciated writer. The movied tanked, despite its beautiful cinematography, intriguing plot, and great heart. Woodrell's latest book: Winter's Bone also uses the peculiar language of the hillbilly, it was nominated for an Academy Award in several catagories, including best picture.

This review is from: Ride With the Devil (Paperback)
I purchased this without realizing it was a screenplay script.
IF YOU WANT TO READ IT MAKE SURE YOU ARE ORDERING A NOVEL NOT A SCRIPT |
