Talk about false advertising. I read this thinking it was a manual for postal employees that I could use to study for civil service exam. But it was just a story about some guy who starts sleeping with another man’s wife and then they decide to kill the husband. It was a pretty good book, but I flunked the test when there weren’t any questions about plotting a homicide. Oh, and that Kevin Costner movie didn’t help either.

Toby I assume you didn't read the David Brin novel either Kemper?

I actually have read that. It didn't help either.


Toby I'll have to investigate your review

I read it years ago and haven't reviewed it on here. It was much better than the movie.


James Thane Kevin Costner movie? I remember John Garfield and Jack Nicholson, but not KC...


message 6: by Joy (new) - added it

Joy Kevin Costner directed and starred in a movie called The Postman based on the book by David Brin -

James Thane Oh, sorry. The reference totally flew by me (as so many do!). I didn't see the movie but now that you jog my memory I do remember reading about it.


Nandakishore Mridula You could try The Post Office by Rabindranath Tagore, but I doubt whether it would help either...

;)
