After ...Adding this book to my summer reading list. After reading, I may have something more intelligent to say about how the film might or might not measure up to the novel! As for the film, I'd give it a solid 7.5 out of 10. It's not perfect, but not dreadful, either. Reminded me of how I felt watching Titanic. Great visuals and special effects here and there, the ingredients of a great love story plot, but a distinct lack of true sparkle between the lead actors (I know, I am probably going to get lots of disagreement here, but I felt like Leo and Kate seemed as oddly paired as RPatz and Reese here). Anywhoo, thanks for your thoughts, all. I definitely enjoyed it more than most of the mainstream film rubbish that has been coming down the pipes from Hollywood lately....BaronessVonVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329735134543431231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465295746865231888.post-40787162668512311282011-05-06T18:55:13.451-04:002011-05-06T18:55:13.451-04:00I am avidly not a fan of Wetherspoon - which had p...I am avidly not a fan of Wetherspoon - which had put me off wanting to see this. <br /><br />But.

I haven't read the book, either. I've spent the last 5 or so years trying to catch up on all the books I felt they should have made us read in high school, so I'm a little behind with contemporary fiction!<br /><br />I'm not sure I feel like going to see a kleenex movie at the moment! (I'm glad you warned me!)
