Dead Again? first, I should stress the only similarities between the book and the film are minimal — names, doctors, some plot basics, and a few quirky stories and eccentricities of the patient cases. The romance here is toned down to the point of almost non-existence, so if anyone is looking to read this for the same experience, they’ll at least feel surprised. Both versions have their own charm, and this rare book remains delightful because of the situation — a doctor out of his depth in a rural community. It’s a sweet read, not as funny as the film. ( ) First off, this book is a hundred times better than the horrible movie they made out of it. This is the story of a young doctor on his to way to L.A. from Miami to do his residency. On the way, his car breaks down in a small town in Alabama. When the townsfolk learn that he is a doctor, they plead with him to help at their woefully understaffed hospital. This book is hilarious and poignant at turns. There are numerous hilarious situations involving the townspeople at the hospital, the funniest involving a traveling circus that gets the flu. But Shulman also shows a town that is in serious decline and unwilling to die without a fight. A great book. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Mix the brains of Neil Shulman and Carl Hiaasen and subtract 27 years, and you've got the book Doc Hollywood, originally titled What? Dead Again?, which was turned into the 1991 movie adaptation starring Michael J. Fox. Hiaasen and Shulman traipsed around rural Georgia in the late '70s collecting the funny accounts and unique experiences of real life practicing Doc Hollywoods.' They created a book about the misadventures of Dr. Otis Stone, a high-flying city doctor gets hoodwinked into practicing medicine below the gnat line,' U.S.A. The zany characters of Grady, Ala., and their interface with the spunky fish out of water' doc, tickled the fancy of Michael J. Fox, and thus was born the movie "Doc Hollywood." Some even say that the popular TV series "Northern Exposure" was inspired by this novel. More than 30 years later, the Shulman-Hiaasen "Doc Hollywood" partnership has sparked many current plots, including the 2006 Pixar film Cars. The tales seems to follow Doc Hollywood's plot, as reported by medias across the nation. Doc Hollywood is a story as moving as it is hilarious. But if one has seen the movie, according to Shulman, don't be fooled. There's more to plot than the Hollywood adaptation. "This book is more a seed than a copy of the movie," states Shulman. Many who have enjoyed the movie have been even more captivated by the book. Critically-acclaimed and unforgettable, it deserves a special place on every bookshelf and within every heart that has longed for the simple life. "This book is a hundred times better than the movie they made out of it. A great book." . Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
