Summary: We are reviewing the "notes" not the book or movie
Review: I could not stand reading or watching anything about Vietnam for about 10 years. I eventually watched the movie " Apocalypse Now" I found it interesting but it did not relate to anything in the central highlands. Later I saw "Pork Lips Now" and could relate this to the movie. Finally someone told me that the whole thing was based on "Heart of Darkness " ISBN: 0486264645. So I decided to read the book. I found it fascinating and much better than the movie. However I could not see the forest of the trees and needed some help in showing me what I was looking at. Because I was not in some school class, I turned to the "Cliffs Notes" Of course my views don't match the notes exactly but they gave me some questions to ask and showed me the forest. The notes include: · Life of the Author · Introductions to the Novel · Lists of Characters · Brief Plot Synopses · Summaries & Critical Commentaries · Critical Essay · Suggested Essay Topics · Selected Bibliography Later I found a movie that was much closer to the original story, "Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death" (1988)
