Book Reviews of I'm a Lebowski, You're a Lebowski: Life, The Big Lebowski, and What Have You
Book Review: "S--- yeah, the achievers!"
Summary: 4 Stars
Let me be the first to say, I was a little worried to read this book. The movie was such a masterpiece - I somehow thought that reading this would ruin the whole experience. It doesn't, of course, and it's a very interesting read. The interviews of the people who inspired Walter almost made me fall out of my chair. I cannot believe some of these stories REALLY HAPPENED! Hearing them recounted from a real-life perspective makes them that much more hysterical. This book does provide more information than humor, but it's still a good read.
To the people reading this review who haven't seen the movie, it really is a must-see (2x at a minimum, ideally 3x or more) and a prerequisite for this book. The first time you see it, you'll probably wonder what the hell just happened. The second or third time, things will start to click. The thing about this movie is that the plot takes a back seat to character development. It sort of feels like you're just an outside observer of this crazy, rambling sequence of hysterical events, that, theoretically, could happen in everyday life (and some of it actually did, as I now know thanks to this book). In my opinion, this is a big reason why it connects with so many people. It feels like these could be people you'd run into at your local bowling alley. The humor doesn't get old, and every time you watch you usually uncover another funny subtlety that the Coen brothers buried in the script. It's those little things and the crazy/weird one-liners that people find so funny and quote so often. As the book correctly points out, this movie just makes you "feel good". Do yourself a favor and go out and get both.
