I saw the movie and loved it. The cast was spot-on! So after many years and other books, I bought my copy and read the book.

The Ghost Writer is a man not-so-famous because he earns his living writing autobiography books for the barely famous. He’s successful enough to make a living writing, but good enough for that particular book that will give his name the clout needed to get hired by more aspiring clients�.. until now.

When the ghost is hired to write the memoirs of the former British prime minister, he reluctantly agrees because the money is great. But as he works on the manuscript he uncovers details about his client, Adam Lang, that are best left unpublished. When pressured to come up with something good enough about Lang to increase public interest and generate sales, the ghost must decide if the money is good enough for him to put his life on the line and publish the goods, or leave for good.

The book is every bit as good as the film, and that’s saying a lot because the movie is great! One of my favorites. Usually the book is much better, but the film follows the book closely. Of course there are more details in the book, which I enjoyed a lot. Very glad to have made time and read this outstanding novel of suspense.
