Customer Reviews

Loved the Book & Loved the Movie

I love Hitchcock and saw Family Plot, really enjoyed it and read the book. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The movie does divert from the book, however both are well done and worth the time to enjoy. Regarding the other review that states the book as lacking suspense and being predictable, I found the writing enjoyable and having a certain shock value that the movie (which is somewhat darkly comedic, though equally enjoyable) didn't have. If you read the book expecting that the movie precisely followed it, then you are likely to be disappointed. It's fairer to say that the book inspired the movie rather than to say that the screen play was written from the book. This is the first Victor Canning book I've read and am can say without doubt that it isn't the last.
