Heya playas, for years I've been hearing
people talk about The Bridges of Madison
County as if it was the greatest love
story ever told. Up there with Romeo and
Juliet, fighting for the top spot against
The Notebook and Titanic. Today I'm gonna
look deep into the love shared between
the lonely Iowa house wife Francesca
and the traveling photographer named
Robert
Kincaid.
Of course I went into this as a skeptic.
I was convinced it was no different from
every other typical romance novel. But what really made question the
fabric of the story was the author's
introduction way before the story began.
He spoke about how he actually met with
Francesca's children and pieced together
the story based on artifacts they found.
This was a real love story. The premise
of this story is quite simple, Francesca
is a
housewife living in Iowa with her husband.
Now, her husband acts more like a business partner and she does have two children that she
loves and a farm that they take care of
but it's a pretty simple straightforward
life. But this standard life of a regular
housewife is completely flipped around
when HE shows up. Robert Kincaid is what I would
described as an alpha male. He's a man
of the land, a traveling photographer who has an
eye for beauty and has a
solid physical frame. The novel takes
place in only four days,
four days is all it took to realize that
they completed one another.
Robert Kincaid made her feel like a real woman.
Every time they were together he completely encapsolated her. Unlike most guys
he took the time to notice all of her.
But in the end they realized that nothing
gold could stay. If they tried to make what
they had work and she ran off with him
they would lose that magic. What they had
would become the standard and that's
exactly what she grew used to and bored of
before. I can see now why this book went over so well with women, it's everything
that they want. It's everlasting love
it's pure dedication to another person
it's that kind of romance that will
never die. So many little details are
explained about Robert Kincaid that I
just had to look him up. I wanted to see
his pictures in national geographic. I
needed to know more about this mysterious
man like, where did he come from?
But upon my search I realized that this novel
had been just that,
a novel. None of it was real.
All the interviews and descriptions
before and after the story were all part of
the authors imagination. The Bridges of
Madison County is a story about two
people that find true happiness with
each other.
And although life shows us that the most
important thing is not always to be
happy we can always wish and dream that
Francesca and Robert Kincaid were.
Like this video if you believe that
true love and happiness do exist. Leave a
comment letting me know, would you be willing
to give up the life that you have now

As always guys, love
and peace.
They say that Robert Kincaid was one of the last cowboys, one of the last gentlemen that
existed.
One of the last.
Let's not count everyone out now.
I've heard so many people say that
Christian Grey is a "real man", so
what am I to do? Read the book of course.
That's why the next book that I'm gonna be reviewing is...
The Steve Jobs biography.
Did you expect something else?
