The book and the film... (spoilers, sort of!)


I read the book first, it was really good.
Then i brought the film, i enjoyed it too.
It was completly different to the book, not as good... It didn't do it any justice.
But, i did think the fact that he came back, instead of waiting all those years, and wasting their lives was good, also, her father didnt die - which was also good.

This film is one of the first that come to mind when I think of botched adaptations of a superior novel.
