Book Reviews of Auntie Mame
Book Review: A disappointment
Summary: 3 Stars
I must admit I was left with a bad taste in my mouth after reading the book that inspired one of my favorite movies. I adore the Rosalind Russell film version of Auntie Mame, and was surprised to learn the story was first a novel and not the musical, so naturally I got a copy. Having read it, I find I still prefer the film incarnations of Dennis's characters.The mood seems a bit darker in the book than in the film. Mame, in the book, seemed like a rough draft of the wonderful persona Russell exuded on film; book Mame came off as more scatterbrained and sometimes mean. I did not find the narrator (Dennis) all that likeable either, and Pegeen in the book appeared to me to be a nag at the end. The whimsical exchange between Mame and the Upsons is also missing something in the book version.
Stick with the movie; I believe it achieved more the story.
