Reviews
On Feb 1 2009, Hazelwood_Booksellers said:
John Irving, one of the great writer's of the modern era, with literary classics to his credit such as: 'Cider House Rules' and 'The World According to Garp', brings the full force of his prose to a memoir of his thirteen years in Hollywood, bringing his classic, 'Cider House Rules', to the silver screen (via four different directors.) Irving also details two of the other movies made into -- but not from -- his novels: 'The World According to Garp' and 'Hotel New Hampshire'. As well, he delves into his failed efforts to make his original debut work, 'Setting Free the Bears', into a motion picture. This is an intricately insightful memoir of the learning's in the differences between writing a timeless classic, and turning it into a movie. A generously illustrated autobiographical account of one of America's most rightfully renowned novelists. A must have, must read for the lover and collector of all things Irving.
