Question: Is the book Revolutionary Road worth reading!?!.!.!.!.!?
I bought the book yesterday and I started reading it but it seems really sad!. I was just wondering if the ending is a good ending and if I should continue reading it!.!.!.I thought it was a love story but I'm not sure :)

Thanks,
Emilie

PS The reason I got it is because I wanted to see the movie, so I was going to read the book before I saw itWww@QuestionHome@Com

Actually, the first few chapters are (in my point of view) the saddest part of the book, excluding the ending!. The middle is semi-happy but that's the happiest part of the whole book!. It really is quite depressingly realistic but all in all a good book!. It has a bit of love in it but it's mainly about how depressed they are!. The ending is pretty powerful!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The movie and book are both great!. I watched the movie first but kind of regretted it because the movie was practically verbatim from the novel (which is a good thing)!. I have to say, I enjoyed the movie more just because the scenes are more passionate when watching them rather than reading them!. The book is very sad with a very sad ending, but it's supposed to be like that because it's supposed to show a shockingly realistic view to this marriage!. Definitely not so much as a nice love story!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The book is definitely worth reading!. Iam also reading it before I see the movieWww@QuestionHome@Com
