The movie was great, in large part because the story is so well-told. Different from the movie and yet able to stand alone as a great read. Includes "Logging and Pimping and 'Your Pal, Jim"{", and USFS 1919: The Ranger, the Cook, and a Hole in the Sky". U of Chicago Press oversize PB published in 1976.

Loved the movie, and always wondered what the book was like. I'll stick with the movie. This is boring stuff. I can see why they made the changes for the film. Had to do something to make it interesting. I couldn't even finish it. Very dull.

I enjoyed this book immensely. Maclean has a wonderful way of writing that makes me think of my father. This was an enjoyable read, and definitely a classic I'll keep on my personal bookshelf to pass on to my son when he is older.
