The Wicker Man
by foxhat @ Tuesday, Jun. 02, 2009 - 19:54:10

This is the book on which the 1970's film was based.

The film follows the plot of the book quite closely but the policeman is much more sympathetically portrayed in the book than in the film.

The Christianity/Pagan struggle is interesting and both ideals seem to be satisfied in the book ending.

This was quite light reading but It entertained me for a day or two on holiday. If you liked the original film it is worth looking out.

Hi, I had an interesting time last night, I googled Wicker Man. As I read it, I remembered I had seen the film some years ago, my husband says it has been on T.V., lately and he enjoyed it (I go to bed earlier than him, he has a click round until he finds something interesting.

I did not have much luck in tracking down the book, do you have the details so I can get a copy? I would appreciate it.

Hi.

I found it in a charity shop. I will happily send you my copy. I know you read a lot so would appreciate your views. When you finish it you can pass it on too. I think that is the way books should pass on. That way they are read and re-read.

If you want to send me an address in a private e-mail, I will send it on

Alan
