A review by novelesque_life
Giant by Edna Ferber
4.0
3.5 STARS
"This sweeping tale captures the essence of Texas on a staggering scale as it chronicles the life and times of cattleman Jordan "Bick" Benedict, his naive young society wife, Leslie, and three generations of land-rich sons. A sensational story of power, love, cattle barons, and oil tycoons." (From Amazon)
I saw George Steven's sweeping epic with Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson many moons ago and the story stayed with me. Once I found out there was a book OMG - I was in heaven. The book is a bit different than the movie and in someways a bit better. Faber's novels have been turned into many films back in the 40-60s.
