If a Children's author and a Mills and Boons author were to have a love child it would be Robert James Waller. A fairly simple writer that tries unconvincingly to weave a romantic tale. The Bridges of Madison County
is a nice and short read (especially when it is missing the middle 33 pages) that is mildly entertaining. The characters are likable, albeit a little cliche, and the plot is pretty straightforward. How this novel made it to movie I have no idea. However if you want a light read on a lazy Sunday afternoon, by all means indulge yourself in this wondrous piece of tripe.
