The Power of the Dog

Like many other reviewers, I only read this book because I think the movie looks interesting. I was not expecting it to be so compelling. From early on, there was a heavy sense of irony. I felt dread and sympathy for many of the characters. There is a deep psychological, pathological development that takes the place of anything “exciting.” The twist at the end, and I mean the end, was a delightful surprise. I had to sit for a second thinking, “Did that just happen?” Anyway, I loved it, and I hope the movie doesn't disappoint . . .
