Title: Wonder Boys
Author: Michael Chabon
Genre: Fiction
I love the film based on this book. Love it. I love it so much I false remembered that I'd read this book shortly after seeing the film and love the book too. Having just read the book I can say definitively that I have not read it before. The things that were different or just absent in the film were not even vaguely familiar to me. It was a completely fresh read.
I liked it ok. Very, very rarely do I like a movie better than I like the book it's based on but this is one of those cases. I still think I want to read all of Chabon's work since I loved The Yiddish Policeman's Union so very much. I know for a fact that I did read The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay when it first came out and didn't love it but I'm going to give it another go and hopefully have a better experience with it this time round.
