The real Cornwallis had just lost his beloved wife, so I don't think he would have been trying to get in other men's wives' pants, since he was all in mourning and heartbroken and everything.... This just makes me feel bad for the guy.

This author is a miracle! Instant removal of all humor, all drama, all feeling from each and every scene! I've never been less convinced of a character being...well, anything, really.

Pitiful! Usually novelizations add more depth and background to the characters, not subtract from them. Tavington is just a sociopath who wants to murder everything he sees? I somehow doubt that's the motivation Jason Isaacs went with when he was deciding how to play the character. I've read fanfics that successfully fleshed out the characters better than this!

Even the bloody carnage is like reading an ingredients list in this author's hands....

'And this person was wearing this, and this person was wearing this, and then this happened, and then this happened, and he said this, and everyone was really mad!' Clearly, they assumed the audience for this movie would only have a fourth-grade reading level--which probably explains why they didn't bother with historical accuracy.

*snore*

It's like a novelization for kids, although kids shouldn't be reading about people hacking each other up like they do in this movie--maybe they skip those parts? Lol
