Rendition As Books Paper Moon

The classic tale of a female Huck Finn, Peter Bogdanovich’s film version of the book was nominated for four Academy Awards. Set in the darkest days of the Great Depression, this is the timeless story of an 11-year-old orphan’s rollicking journey through the Deep South with a con man who just might be her father. Brimming with humor, pathos, and an irresistible narrative energy, this is American storytelling at its finest. Paper Moon is tough, vibrant, and ripe for rediscovery.

Appraise Of Books Paper Moon

They just don't make books like this anymore. Addie Pray is a female Huckleberry Finn, with the practical, good-humored insight of Scout Finch and Mattie Ross. I picked it up first because it charmed my father back in the 1970's, then I jumped in, thrilled it was set in Alabama, my adopted home. Finally, I surrendered to Addie's charms because her character is irresistible. A precocious, film-flammer with a belated sense of justice, Addie is an original.Forget the movie, "Paper Moon" although it

I really like this book, but this is one of the rare times where I like the movie more than the book. Maybe I'm biased because I saw the movie as a kid first, but it's still one of my favorite movies. That being said, the book is also amazing and offers up more insight from Addie and more details about the characters (In the book, its made clear that Moze is probably Addie's father, but he wont admit it) than the movie does. However, I wasn't too interested in the latter half of the book

I've always loved the movie "Paper Moon" but never thought to read the original novel "Addie Pray." This new edition changes the title to match the movie (smart) and includes a nice foreword by the movie's director Peter Bogdanovich. It practically leaped off the library shelf into my hands.The story, in case you don't know, is about an 11-12 year old girl, Addie , who's mother dies during the Great Depression. A man named Moses Pray, who may or may not be her father, offers to drive her to the

Loved this book. Loved it. Best "con" story that I ever read. Old school Flim-flam. Well drawn characters. Bogdanovich did a terrific job with the movie. I prefer the book, though. So many more adventures with Addy and Long Boy. Lot of fun, and a great snap shot of Depression era america. Deserves to be read by more folks. Pick it up!

I've read and re-read this book many times since my childhood. My mom had a copy, and eventually it became mine. The movie Paper Moon really missed much of the charm and the point of the story for me.The whole point of the book (IMO) is tagging along on a series of adventures, getting a feel for the rootlessness and need for each other that the two main characters have. Also, leaving out the colonel and the whole New Orleans story? A total crime. That's by far the best of the book. A vagabond

Those of you old enough may remember the black and white 1973 film of Paper Moon featuring an impossibly young looking Ryan O'Neal and his daughter, Tatum as a couple of smalltime cons working the southern states of America during the Depression. (Youtube has scenes here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXWVS3...). The film was funny and well done but deviated from the storyline in the book which is worth reading for its own sake. Lots of fun and a happy feel good ending.

I read this book about a thousand times between the ages of 11 and 14. I can still recite much of it from memory. It's a kid's-eye view of high adventure in the time of the depression in the South. I wanted to be Addie Pray, a savvy kid con artist along with her may-be father. It's amazing, how well Joe David Brown wrote from an 11 year old girl's perspective, it fit perfectly with my own view of the world at that age. This book formed my ideas of a romantic life, in the sense of being a
