I\u2019ve seen the movie, but not for a good few years, but I know a decent amount about World War II history and about the forced labour that was used to build railways in the Far East.<\/p>\n<p>Boulle is a masterful writer and I\u2019m keen to read everything else that he\u2019s written, and I was particularly impressed by the way that he was able to capture the British attitude towards foreigners and the whole \u201cstiff upper lip\u201d thing. He was French, but he knows what it means to be British more than any British author I\u2019ve come across.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, it was a cracking read and one that I\u2019d definitely recommend. It\u2019s also a lot funnier than I was expecting, making it a well-rounded tale about the Second World War that won\u2019t leave you feeling depressed.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/598098.The_Bridge_On_the_River_Kwai?ac=1&amp;from_search=true&amp;qid=yMzL8sgvXt&amp;rank=1\">Learn more about The Bridge on the River Kwai.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<br class=\"clear\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: The Bridge on the River Kwai Author: Pierre Boulle Type:\u00a0Fiction Page Count\/Review Word Count: 200 Rating:\u00a04\/5 It blew my mind when I read Planet of the Apes, thought it was fantastic, and then learned that the guy who wrote it was also the author of The Bridge on the River Kwai.
