Book Review of The Bridges of Madison County

The Bridges of Madison County


Throughout the book, I found myself wondering if it were true or not, and I see I'm not the only one: http://www.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/9607/0096.html#kincaid Part of me wanted to believe it, but part of me believed it had to be entirely made up, trying to deceive you into believing. It's a good book of a love that existed and yet, couldn't be. Tragic, and especially interesting to me because of Kincaid's profession, it makes up a nice little hardcover to sit down and read, though I'd probably designate it as a winter read rather than a summer one. The descriptions of sweltering heat would probably feel better on a freezing day than one already hot and sticky. It's a good book, but it's not terribly life-altering. 7 out of 10 perhaps.
