I saw the movie before the book, which is not what I normally do. Anyway, the movie is good, nothing to jump up and down about, but it’s worth watching. The book is the same, in my opinion.

I loved them both. Books are always better but the movie has 2 great actors that instill the tragedy of the story ?

I love the movie and the music! Watched it a ton of time. Read the book once. Still have it. It’s good but I prefer the movie over the book. (Not the case in all book/movie as there’s some books I prefer over the movie)

I thought the movie was just okay, but loved the book. May I also recommend Her Fearful Symmetry by the same author? So good!

I saw part of the movie and it actually made me want to read the book. Normally I don’t read books after I see the movies. I have a copy of the book and I think it’ll be one of the next few books I read.

I didn’t finish the book. It went back and forth so much that I had trouble following. Maybe if I picked it up again I would feel differently. Maybe I wasn’t in the right frame of mind for it at the time. Hope you enjoy it!

Both are good. I don’t recall having a preference. I had a hard time getting into the book at first but after a few chapters I really liked it.

The book is one of my all-time favourites ❤️ Haven’t seen the film yet, but I’m nearly always disappointed with film adaptations. I recently finished reading The Cider House Rules and watched the film just afterwards. It was a real let-down…
