Book Reviews of Harvey
Book Review: Delightful and Charming
Summary: 5 Stars
When I was reading this I was replaying the movie in my head. This playing is well written and very charming. It is a about a man Elwood P. Dowd whose best friend Harvey is a giant invisible rabbit. No Harvey is not an imaginary friend. I found it amusing that Elwood's sister wanted Elwood to be committed because of Harvey and yet she knew that Harvey really existed. With Harvey as his friend, Elwood had a very peaceful and gentle disposition, was very pleasant and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of his life. I wonder where I could find a giant invisible rabbit. :)Book Review: Harvey

I bought two copies and gave one to a friend that never heard of Harvy.
They are now as big a fan as I am

Book Review: Harvey - an under-rated fantasy
Summary: 4 Stars
Linked inexorably with the late, great James Stewart, the play "Harvey" is actually stranger, darker and more clever than most of us remember from the film. Mary Chase establishes three forces in opposition - Elwood (and while this is "his" story, he is a minor character in the play), his family, and the "outsiders" who are caught in the middle. The distinctions between them are bound primarily in their reaction to Harvey, Elwood's best friend.A much darker version of this same story can be seen in the British drama, "The Ruling Class," made into a film in the 1970s featuring Peter O'Toole.
READ "Harvey," then see the film again, and draw your own conclusions. Ms. Chase was quite a writer.
