Reread it in January,1989, and loved it. Reread it again in November, 2006, and hated it. My comments in my paperback after the last reading reads. "Not as good as remembered. All whites are idiots; all blacks and Mexicans are good and wise. And all Southern whites are completely stupid." Books never change, only the people who read them.Henry Reitennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-36617803770305076242017-03-01T11:11:52.028-06:002017-03-01T11:11:52.028-06:00I remember loving this book when I read it many ye...I remember loving this book when I read it many years ago. The movie is very good, too, but the book is better.

I liked it a lot too.<br /><br />Note on the movie: this is a favorite of Jackie's. Richard Thomas. Desi Arnaz Jr. Cathy Burns. (This was a year or so after LAST SUMMER.) Richard Crenna. Claire Bloom. Harry Guardino. The great Strother Martin.<br /><br />But years later we decided to watch it again, and someone had eviscerated it, adding a bad narration, editing and basically changing everything that made it so entertaining. So if you see it, and you should, make sure it is the original version.Jeff Meyersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00093411926030586355noreply@blogger.com
