I read this book several years ago. It was one of those I had to force myself to finish, and by the end, I loved it. But I have not had the courage to read another book by this author.

Well, now they are making a movie of the book, and it is being advertised as a murder mystery. That was really not the point of the book, from my view. My daughter wants to see the movie. I told her I would not take her unless she read the book, which she refused. I think this is a wonderful chance to show the superiority of the written word over the movie.

What do you think? Or did I just miss the whole point of the book, and it really is just a murder mystery?
