Several years ago I read this book. I loved the book. So when I saw it was on TV this afternoon I decided to watch it.
I know that books are nothing like the movie and movies are never like the book but after 30 minutes I had to turn this drivel off.
It was bad enough that it is not accurate to the book or even history but the fact that everyone looked like a character from a romance novel just sent me over the edge.
Just a bad bad movie. Not even worth writing anymore about.
But it is seems I have to write more to get this posted! It amazes me that people will take the time & money to make movies based on books and then just take the title and character names. This movie is a great example of why if you are to read the book you can't get away with watching the movie!
