Book Reviews of The Wicker Man: A Novel
Book Review: For diehard fans only
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fairly pedestrian novelization of the movie by Robin Hardy and Anthony Schaffer. If you have seen the movie, it won't really enhance the experience much. There are a few lines which give some insight into Detective Howie's character but its nothing you can't extrapolate from Edward Woodward's performance in the film. If you are, as I am, a devoted fan of the film, you will want to have this as a memento - but don't expect it to reveal anything profound about the film.
Summary of The Wicker Man: A Novel
The emergence of a rabid cult following the film version of The Wicker Man prompted the publication of the novel on which it was based. And a good thing, too. As fine as the film is, the book has its own special charm.Horror Books
