This was a great story and rewards multiple viewings and re-reads as something new springs to your attention. ( )

This is the script for the movie The Big Lebowski. That's pretty much it, really. I bought it a few years ago at a library sale, and I'm honestly not sure why. I mean, I like The Big Lebowski. I've seen it a couple of times (albeit not very recently). I even own the soundtrack. But I'm not the kind of superfan who regards the Dude as their personal role model and guru, and I hardly had a burning need to own it in script form. So it sat on my shelves for quite a while. But last night I was incredibly sleep-deprived and brain-dead, but still wanted something to read, and figured something short and fun and already familiar would be about what I could handle, so I took it down and read it. And, yep... It's the script for The Big Lebowski. Which is fun, although encountering it in this form isn't remotely the same, without the acting and the visuals and the music. Walter is still hilarious, though, even in print. But, really, don't read this instead of watching the movie. That would just be kind of dumb.

Rating: I'm going to call it 4/5, just because I'd rate the movie itself at least that high. ( )

Loved the movie so I had to read the book. This is one case where I enjoyed the movie more than the book - which I suppose makes sense considering that the book is based on the movie.

Don't buy this thinking you're going to get more than you got in the movie - it's not the case. It is, however, very entertaining. ( )
