4.0 out of 5 stars Cape Fear by John D. MacDonald, 23 Jul 2009
By P. Newman (Dorset, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This particular book is a Bloomsbury Film Classics paperback (a series that never gives you much detail of either author or film) with a cover showing Robert de Niro as the villain of the tale. He doesn't physically resemble the villain in the book but never mind; much is different in this original novel of the 1950s harking back to events in the war. Scorsese made the 1991 big screen adaptation, although it had previously been filmed in 1962 apparently. It was an obvious 1980s/90s favourite because it's the story of a stalker, that now much overworked theme of the hidden psycho who kills the family pet then has his eye on the hero's wife and daughters and so on. And for that reason alone (that this theme has since been done to death) I was less attached to this than other early John D. MacDonalds I have been reading, which is slightly unfair as this was probably the original of all those later filmed copies. MacDonald is incapable of writing poorly and anything bearing his name is worth reading.
