Cool Hand Luke

This was one of my mother's favorite movies. we watched it together several times. The book was better than the movie.

Great movie / great book

Always loved the movie and I found the book exceptional. Would definitely recommend both of them.

Like the movie but not

If you decide to get the book please try to put the movie out of your mind. I was almost halfway thru when I decided to start from the beginning and just enjoy the story and the wonderful narrator. The performance is excellent. He gives each and every character a distinct voice full of personality and unique accents. The scene where George Kennedy has a fight with Luke just doesn't happen in the book. And I missed a third of this wonderful performance waiting and trying to match up the movie and book. That's when I started over and glad I did.

Fantastic.

This is a great book and the narration is excellent. Adds great depth to the movie

OMG better than movie

Yhe story, the language, the dialogue. alll simply stunning. i am gobsmacked. i had no idea that the origins of this classic movie deserves to be revered as a literary classic. The narration is no mere narration. It is a one-voice dramatic masterpiece.

incredible narration!

great book and even better narration. highly recommend this, a bit darker than the movie.

Great story and excellent narration

Quite surprised to find that one of my favorite movies started as a book. I love this book and I’m happy that the screenplay was faithful to the original. The narration is great and sometimes you actually feel like you’re amongst the members of the gang on their work detail.

As good as or better than the film!

The only edge the film may have over the book is Paul Newman. Great Book, great narration.

Highly recommended

Too difficult to point out what I liked best out of this selection. The narration and story were both excellent.

love the book, movie and narration

this is a great story. I know the movie from my childhood and was happy to listen. I really like this narrator too. he was great in the Forest Gump recording.
