Helpful Score: 2
The sad true story of John Merrick, the movie was really good, but the book gives you a little more in depth into his sad life. Makes you appreciate life and what GOD has given you.
Wonderful story, Great read

Written and published in 1980, based on the well-received movie of the same name and year. Both the book and the movie were very effective, at least for me: I saw the movie in one sitting (of course!), and just today read the book in one sitting.
Historically accurate? Close but not quite; but that did not diminish my enjoyment.

This is a very heartwarming story of a man trapped in the ugliest body imaginable yet overcame this obstacle and found love.
based on the life of John Merrick , The Elephant Man
