CAPE FEAR (John D. MacDonald) - November 30/20
It's interesting how different this turned out to be from both films, especially the ending, but I definitely enjoyed this book. Max Cady basically disappears at around the midway point, which kind of wreaked havoc on the book's momentum. (He's just such a compelling figure that it's difficult not to miss him.) I liked the weird banter between Sam and Carol, but some sections were a little too descriptive and the dialogue was occasionally a little too verbose. Interesting too that Cady is killed offscreen. *** out of ****
