Book Reviews of A Christmas Story: The Book That Inspired the Hilarious Classic Film
Book Review: The Movie versus The Book
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife and I viewed A CHRISTMAS STORY over and over the year that her mother passed away. It was our way of coping with grief, and it not only diverted us that year, it made us loyal repeat visitors. We were not surprised that Turner Classic Movies soon adopted it as their annual Classic Christmas Story. However, the book does not quite match the movie for nostalgic appeal and depth of feeling. Somehow the story line is too disconnected, not as fluid as the cinematic production. This may be a bit self-serving, but readers may find something similar to the movie in BANKMULES, the story of my hometown in Kentucky, which is also available here at AMAZON.com.
