On p. 180 is the funniest line I have read in a while. I laughed out loud for quite a while. I don’t remember it in the movie, which I saw about 20 years ago. It could be considered politically incorrect by the lefties out in Hollywood, so maybe that is why it wasn’t in the movie. It is unusual to see a movie and then 20 years later read the book upon which that movie was made. From what I remember of the movie, it follows the book faithfully. The book is superior in that it goes into great depth about cases from the past, and about Rusty’s inner feelings, especially about his relationship with his wife. I read all these insights by Rusty with great interest. He had many interesting reflections on inter-personal relationships. I thought the book was extremely well-written, and give it an enthusiastic “8.”
