I did not read the novel, only read its synopsis, and was upset that Mark was killed off in Sudan. I was so glad that was changed in the film: that bozo Daniel was hardly necessary, but Mark... it wouldn't be the same without him.
Did you prefer the film as it was, or would rather it followed the novel in respect to Mark's fate?
Oh definitely not. Love Mark. Hated that book (never read it even though I was looking forward to it because of Mark) and it nearly ruined all the other books and movies. This moved saved it. I loved his happy ending
I hope, hope they never consider making that book into a movie. I wouldn't want to lose Mark. Ironically, I'd rather lose Bridget (which is highly stupid I know lol)
How can people hate a book they haven't read? Mad about the boy is an entirely different story to the film, it's set probably about 7 years after. I didn't want to read it initially but decided to give it a go and absolutely loved it :)
shareI did too. I also liked the new love interest and thought he was maybe more suited to Bridget being just a teacher. It was far more realistic
