One of my favorite parts is when these two men and two others are trying to break out from a retirement home |
Although its premature to talk about me finishing the book in a the second review, I want to start off with comparing the book to the movie. I did watch the movie after I finished reading the book and I can safely say that they both were amazing. The movie apparently got bad reviews which is crazy considering I'm pretty sure it is one of the best movies I have ever seen. The movie gave you different perspectives at the same time, feeding you more information at once. The book didn't exactly move in a linear way either but, it was more in a chronological order than the movie. You went from one story and time period to another and you made connections that way. In the movie you could make connections at the same time with other time periods. How human nature is circular in the aspect that "history repeats itself", on top of the metaphors and meanings you pull from the idea of the book, you get the movie perspectives that you wouldn't get otherwise. There are even meanings that I can't even really articulate to explain because they are just so, unexplainable. The mixture of love, hate, hope, death, sacrifice, and everything in between makes the book and movie beyond amazing. There are down points too, you can't get instant gratification even with the movie. The book and movie take time to pull in all the information happening at once to bring it to those amazing metaphors and philosophy. I couldn't even tell you what genre this book would be considering all the different stories have something different to offer, so the best way to describe it is, a well written and thought out book.
