"Cool Hand Luke" The Movie
One of the most memorable lines to ever be uttered on the silver screen; " What we have here is a failure to communicate." Strother Martin, what a great character actor. Who could ever forget Paul Neuman eating all those boiled eggs? Makes you sick just thinking about it huh? And who could forget George Kennedy? Well they couldn't break Luke, he was destined to be destroyed by the system. But he did go out on his own terms. That is what made Cool Hand Luke so loveable.

Buy it today!
I'm sure you're no doubt thinking, "Why should I buy/read this book when I've already seen the movie countless times?" The answer is because, as with most book to film transitions, the movie version only scratches the surface of this story and its characters. (And that's saying a lot considering that the movie is one of the greatest of all time!) If you are a fan of the film, you owe it to yourself to read this book! I recommend it highly!

P.S.: Donn Pearce spent time on a Florida chain gang, so he knows the subject matter all too well.

Good page turner.
Of course the movie is better, but the book offers a different atmosphere and character backgrounds not found in the film. It is almost like watching a grittier remake in your head.
