One of the few books where the film was better than the book. Not that I'm saying the book was bad, but it wasn't a patch on the film. I still cry every time Meryl's voice breaks in her eulogy, and I'm a man. Mind you, of course, the film was taken from several books, not just 'Out of Africa'. Come to think of it, was the book actually called 'Out of Africa'? I must go downstairs and look.
