I was introduced to this story was the movie featuring Jim Caviezel, Guy Pierce and a young Henry Cavill. I loved that film but to say it was loosely based on the novel is an understatement. I still love the story as originally presented in the book but but struggled to read it. Too long, drawn out and wordy. Took me months to finish I and often found myself critiquing how it could be more concise.
