I just finished The Bridges of Madison County by Robert James Waller. I have never seen the movie and never really cared to read the book, but I would love to visit these bridges some day. I saw the book at Levi's grandma's house. She told me the book was terrible, even though she never read it. I decided to bring it home and give it a try since it is short. Here is my review on goodreads:
I liked this book more than I thought I would. I wasn't expecting it to be good based off of what other people told me about the book and movie. It was a very quick read and a "four day love story". I didn't really care for the character of Francesca, just because I don't like people who have affairs. I did like how the affair ended though. I still feel sorry for Robert and wished things would have been different for him. So not my favorite book, but better than I expected.
I'm glad I finally read the book. I don't really have any desire to watch the movie, but I would love a trip to the covered bridges sometime this summer or fall.
