Carley Taylor (9 KP) rated Harold and Maude in Books

Much like the movie, this book left me happy but tearful. Thoughtful about life and I'm happy to say this is one book to movie adaptation that was entirely faithful. Ruth Gordon is the greatest actress who could have ever imbued Maude and I'm so happy I decided to read this book. Beautiful work of humanity.

I've always loved the movie and have been curious to read the book. It was MUCH shorter than I had expected but the movie stayed true to the story and it was easy to recall the visuals for each scene. However, the book didn't seem as engaging or captivating as the movie and I didn't really get a sense of the characters.

A good Gen X movie
This is a great movie to bad it did not meassure up to the book. Now saying that i gave it an 8. If it followed the book to a tee you could have had 2 or 3 movies easy from it. As a child of the 80s this movie hit home. It had both the feel of the 80s and the since of a dystopian future. I highly recommend watching the movie and reading the book, do it that order.

Outrageous
I watch the movie version of this multiple times growing up, but I had never read the book. After reading the book I must say that it and the movie are both wonderfully told stories. The book differs greatly from the movie, but Forrest adventures could never be contained in the short time frame of a single movie.
The great thing about this book is that it is not contained to a single adventure. Even after reading it I don't understand how so many stories manage to fit into a single novel. Each of Forrest's stories flows nicely into the next. This causes the ridiculousness of each adventure to make perfect sense in the overall story.
Anyone who enjoys the movie needs to read this book. It is an easy to read masterpiece that stands far above other stories of its kind.
