The Cider House Rules by John Irving


Wow, what a story! I have seen the movie five or six times so I went into this thinking that it would be the same story with just more details. I couldn’t have been more wrong. There is an amazing amount of things that are in here that the movie omits. In fact while reading the book I never really felt like the movie spoiled any of the plot. I'm still amazed at how fresh it was to read. I enjoyed this book enough that I can honestly say it is one of my favorites of all time and I'm sure I will be reading it again.

If you've thought about reading this but decided not to because you've seen the movie, think again. You will be pleasantly surprised.
