Title: Great Book. Terrible Film.
Product review: Where the book was mesmerizing and lyrical, the film just fell flat. I found it hard to believe that such a dud of a movie could come from Sebold's beautiful prose. I found myself getting impatient and irate, particularly in scenes where they tried to bring in the other world; they did not ring true. I was so disappointed that I vowed, for a time, to just skip film versions of much-loved books.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
