5.0 out of 5 stars Tearbreaking and heartfelt, Feb 6 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Dances With Wolves: The Illustrated Screenplay and Story Behind the Film (Paperback)

I read this truly great novel after seeing the screeplay. The novel is really rich in detail and emotion. I usually never feel this way about litterature but with this novel it is quite different. I can only recommend this masterpiece for everyone to read. I also began reading about the Indians and I now have a fascination for them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the complete screenplay, Feb 18 2004

By

Benjamin Stone (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dances With Wolves: The Illustrated Screenplay and Story Behind the Film (Paperback)

This being one of the most beautiful and inspiring movies of the last two decades, there are probably few people who haven't seen it at least once. For anyone interested in its background and the history of Native Americans, this book is a good starting point. However, it does NOT contain the complete screenplay. All of the important scenes are there (though stage directions are kept to a minimum), but a large part of the rest is told in prose narrative. Since there is no other publication of the screenplay around (the large hardback edition from Newmarket Press has the identical abridged version, plus photographs, minus the interviews) this can't be helped, but anyone buying this book should know they won't be getting the whole thing.

By A Customer

This review is from: Dances With Wolves: The Illustrated Screenplay and Story Behind the Film (Paperback)

I thought this book "Dances With Wolves" was a great book. It cought my attention quickly watching the movie. I would prefer the movie over the book because I like movies better. Although The book has much more details.
