I actually purchased this book to help me understand the movie better. After seeing the movie, I could not help but wonder if the book was more detailed and explained more. The book is definitly different than then movie. Right from the beginning of the book I found differences between the book and the movie. The book did explain things better and included the details that the movie left out or did not explain. I enjoyed the book. I would of preferred to of read the book instead of seeing the movie. I would recommend the book.
I really loved this book. Having had a father and uncles who served in WWII, I could appreciate the human person to person experiences in this book, having heard their stories of that time. I purchased this book, initially, because I had read The Color of Water, also by James McBride and was so impressed with that book I wanted to read his other works. I highly recommend both books.
