Gina’s comments from the Let's face it, NOTHING quite beats the original: Join the Warren Adler Page-to-Screen Book Review Bonanza and Read the Originals Before they Hit the Screen group.

If you've read the book first it can be very distracting watching the movie. Are the characters as you pictured them? Did you pronounce names/places correctly? Are they sticking to the book? What chapter does that happen in?

If the movie stays true to the book and does not stray too far or add extraneous characters it can be very enjoyable. Movies can capture books, especially if the author participates. Devoted readers have very high expectations and can be any movie`s toughest critic.
