![]() ![]() But I'm not one of those people who say that a book ALWAYS has to be better than the movie/TV production based on the book. Otherwise I would not have reade 1160 pages four times (minus 143 pages :)). ![]() That's where the book has it's limitations and the movie is better.ĭon't get me wrong, I love the novel. ![]() Plus I really enjoyed the news reel clips that are indicating whenever one year is over and another year starts. The movie director must have come to the same result as he skipped the Singapore part entirely which made the movie better than the book for me.Īlso: a book cannot give you an idea how beautiful Cornwall's landscape is, but a movie (with such great cinematography) can. The next 3 times when I read the novel I did skip the Singapore part. I read them the first time, expecting something of importance for the plot to happen, but not much is happening. I thought the 143 pages taking place in Singapore (towards the end of the book) were very boring. ![]() And I realize that I belong to a minority when reading the other reviewer's comments.īut I do think that the changes between the book and the first movie are only minor and definitely contribute to a better movie. I read the book 4 times and watched "Coming Home" and the sequel "Nancherrow" a dozen times at least. ![]()
