Write Up Containing Books Waltz into Darkness

*** Trigger Warning: Animal Abuse/Cruelty and Suicidal Attempts ***This story has betrayal & deceit, romance, a female con artist and murder. This was an interesting story and had all the elements of a great story in the making but I feel like it missed the mark a bit for me. There were some twisty moments but not something I didn't see coming. I really wish there would have been more character development and that the resolutions would have been more planned out. It was a bit underwhelming

Having never read Cornell Woolrich before, I didn't know what was in store for me. The first thing I was struck by was how modern the story felt for something that was written in 1947. I can only imagine how shocking some of this was back then. With rich language, multi-layered protagonist and antagonist, plot twists, and suspense, Woolrich pulls you along with him like a train barreling across the landscape. I was immersed from the get-go and not surprised to learn that no less than Francois

Post-Civil war tale set in the capital of all disguises, New Orleans, about a woman who is not all she seems. A lonely man marries a woman he barely knows (they correspond a lot, like mySpace), and she keeps leading him on and disappearing. All signs lead to her running off with his money but she keeps coming back acting mysteriously. I was engaged at the beginning of the book, but clocking in at 312 pages made it a little too long to keep me involved. At half the length it would have been a

The movie followed this well, but there were some mix up in the scenes and when/where things happened or was said.The ending is different as well.Glad I watched the movie first for this, though. There is much scenery detail; it either bored or confused me. I just skipped over it and imagined the movie scenery instead.

I liked it -- but not a lot. It was kind of creepy. Louis was dumb as a bag of nails, and Julia/Bonny was a manipulative bitch. All that weeping and wailing at the end after she poisoned him was so phony and just another of her tricks. And how dumb did he have to be to go buy her rat poison?? As I said -- a bag of nails. And he just kept spending without thinking of the future, then seemed surprised when his money was almost gone!!!???? Have not read other Woolrich's and probably won't.

Cornell Woolrich was a favorite of moviemakers: his novels and stories were adapted into more than 25 motion pictures, with Rear Window as probably the most famous. Two (Francois Truffauts 1969 film Mississippi Mermaid and 2001s Original Sinwhich, though it is already largely forgotten in whole, has achieved an extended internet lifespan in the form of a much-viewed clip of an explicit sex scene) were based on Waltz into Darkness, a 1947 novel published by Woolrich under the pseudonym William
