While the movie is more entertaining and exciting, they're two different animals altogether -- Punke's novel is not only down-to-earth, it's rooted in actual history and breathes life into a bit of a lost era. Informative, yet also compelling. Punke creates a whole mess of interesting characters, and the time spent with each of them is much appreciated. He's drawing from real frontiersmen -- their adventures, yes, but also their flaws and virtues.The long and short of it is, I hard a very hard time putting this one down. Because comparisons are inevitable -- yes, at the end of the day, I probably liked the movie better. Look, Iñárritu is a great mind, I'm sure he could make a movie to outshine Romeo and Juliet if he set his mind to it. So, if you saw the movie and you're thinking "Wow, I bet they cut out a lot of action from the book -- I bet it's way grittier and bloodier!" You're not strictly speaking WRONG, but you might be disappointed, and that's not fair to Punke's excellent novel. If you thought "Wow, that was an interesting story, I'd love to hear it again -- maybe more like what actually happened, you know, the real story," then this is for you, and it's GRAND. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ FYI - this is NOT a 100% historic account. Historical fiction leaning towards historical facts. *by C***H on Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2017* I'm probably one of the many people who read this after seeing the movie and I loved the movie. I do think the movie was better than the book. What I like about this book (or the movie adaptation) is that the movie and the book aren't exactly the same so seeing the movie wouldn't ruin the book and reading the book wouldn't ruin the movie, or so I think. I like how the book goes more into the background of Hugh Glass and John Fitzgerald. The movie and Tom Hardy did a great job of making John Fitzgerald an unlikable villain, but the actual back story that's included in the book really shows how much of a scum bag and vile person he was, which I liked.The thing that kind of threw me (and maybe this is more my fault for setting wrong expectations) but I was thinking the book was more a historical account of the events, but the book is more historical fiction leaning towards the historical. The author acknowledges this too at least later on. When I say historical fiction too, I mean the author (I think) took all the facts he could find and then filled in the blank spaces with his creative (i.e. the point of view of a guy right before he gets killed and etc., which obviously can't be real).It's a very interesting story and worth a read. My final rating would be more in the 3.5-4/5 range. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Not a bad book by any means *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2018* Not a bad book by any means. But after the bear mauling and the "revenge" portion of the book starts, it honestly begins to drag. I got to the point where I was just reading to finish it.What the book does really well, though, is portray the struggles of the American frontiersmen in the 1820's fur trade era. I had no idea there was such chaos in the mid-west during this time of American history. Punke does a great job describing how brutal and hostile many of the Native American tribes were to white men at the time and how unforgiving the environment is. I have much more respect for these men after reading this book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/21870289-the-revenant-a-novel-of-revenge](https://www.desertcart.us/products/21870289-the-revenant-a-novel-of-revenge) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
