Funny this topic should come up just when I found a copy of THE GETAWAY
by Jim Thompson. Picked it up for $4.50 at Crackskull books/cafe in
Newmarket New Hampshire and time stopped until I finished it. Talk
about disturbing: the graphic description of a beautiful young woman
buried alive and that's just one of the disturbing parts. Absolutely
made my skin crawl... literally! The book does not let up. Now I have
to find the Steve McQueen movie made from it.

It was remade in 1994, directed by Roger Donaldson (Peckinpah directed the McQueen version) and starring Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger. Anybody seen both and would like to give us a critique?
