Bookshelf: James Dickey's Deliverance

The movie Deliverance is coming up on my list, and I got to say I'm quite excited. It was one those movies I heard a lot about growing, but I wasn't allowed to watch it, understandably since there is rape and sexual language in the book. Anyways, I didn't know this movie was based on a book till a few months ago while browsing a book store, and I was on board with reading it before I got the movie. I have to say that my thoughts are still conflicted on what I thought, but there is something very poignant about the story yet I felt it needed more.

Summary: Ed, Lewis, Drew, and Bobby are suburban guys who want a taste of the wild. They plan a trip in North Georgia where they can canoe and camp, and be well men. Once arriving they get the feeling this community is really tight and folks from around there aren't too welcome. Things only get worse when the guys get going on their canoeing trip, and Ed and Bobby are attacked by two men. This is only the beginning of worse things to come though as a hunt in the woods begins.
