I found the book quite different from how I remember the movie. In the book Scott Carey is less of the stalwart hero and more of the flawed leading man who is frustrated, angry and self-pitying, in actuality much more believable. He strikes out at those closest to him and resents any gesture that he thinks is pity. The book does become more cerebral toward the end as he contemplates the meaning of his life – but for those action lovers, don’t worry, he still has battles with the giant (to him) spider.
The Incredible Shrinking man is very much a product of the 1950s with it’s reference to radiation and it’s assignment of the roles that men and women play.
