Title: Nice... But Nothing Compared To The Novel
Product review: I saw this movie in the theaters. I was drawn to it because I had fallen completely inlove with the book. <Esther has always been one of my favorite Bible stories and I loved the way that Tenney had taken it, and combined with history's Xerses, whom Biblical historians believe was Esther's Xerses. He added a few fictional characters for the the flow, and I believe it was outstanding!>The movie was hardly anthing like the book itself. It even added a little 'magic' in the film when only those who had God could see the stars that Esther's necklace gave out.Perhaps if I had not read the novel, and was moved my 'enchantment' in a 'non-enchantment' movie, I would have liked it.That is truthfully all that was wrong in my eyes: Hardly anything like the book, and no part of 'fantasy' belonged in this kind of story.If you haven't read the book, I will admit that you will probably enjoy the movie. If you are fan of the book, the movie just kills it to me!
