![]() ![]() (Do note, however, that this book did spend 40 weeks on the NY Times Bestseller list and sold 20+ million copies, so someone certainly liked it!) However, the book is unintentionally fascinating as a view into mid-1970's US society. And it is true the dialogue Benchley's puts in his character's mouths is not particularly natural and there are many redundant sections throughout. First off, yes - the movie is much better than the book - not because the book is awful, but rather because the movie is just so good and memorable. I read this book many years ago and knew it differed from the movie, but I thought it would be fun to listen to the audiobook version. Fascinating, but not for the obvious reason ![]()
