Deliverance by James Dickey

5.0

I'd seen the movie a few times and loved it, figured I'd check out the book. Dickey was apparently quite a character and I have heard some funny stories about him being on the set of the movie. He is everything I love in an author. Poetic language (always helps when you start as a poet), engrossing plot, characters that are fleshed out well, a story that sticks with you when you finish, and in reality he is bigger than life. Reminds me of Twain in ways. This book sucked me in quickly and never let go. 5 stars.
