I've never seen the movie. Judging by the cover of the book, it's a lot different. Quoyle doesn't look like Kevin Spacey. No way. And the picture of them dragging a house across the ice - well, that happens before the book.
Anyway, this is a really great character piece. I was slightly put off by Proulx' overuse of sentence fragments. Most were everything but the subject. It really deadened the prose. I'm sure it was intentional. I didn't like it.
But overall, still well worth a read. Really good book.
