(Of course, I feel that way about a lot of them!) <br /><br />There are some books that do not translate well into movies. This, in my opinion, was one of them. They just can't do the book justice. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing and for a great giveaway!<br />songbird1613 at yahoo dot commariehahn13https://www.blogger.com/profile/17758955181742235250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7331675631374497723.post-73638667087979878102012-10-02T14:19:39.993+02:002012-10-02T14:19:39.993+02:00New to me too.

I thought the writing was superb. I think the guilt thing is part of the major theme--more specifically Catholic Guilt. Interesting to think about how the religion affected their choices and happiness ultimately, and not in a good way.<br /><br />I did see the movie and while I liked some of it, I didn't think it stayed very true to the book, which was disappointing. Sorry it didn't work for you. Not every book is for everyone. Glad to see you gave it a chance.Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07343557750428307066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7331675631374497723.post-80937955022161744132012-09-30T19:10:03.006+02:002012-09-30T19:10:03.006+02:00I am not familiar with this book but I am super cu...I am not familiar with this book but I am super curious about it!
