Title: Better than the movie
Product review: I like Emma Thompson and Anthony Hopkins as much as anyone, but the book is far more satisfying than the movie. For one, given the impressionist technique used to advance the narrative, learning the truth about Lord Darlington is a far more satisfying experience when reading the book than seeing the movie. It is only then that the reader is alert to the fact that everything he had been told is warped by the hero's perspective-he cannot admit to us or himself that he has given his life to an unjust cause. Rather than spoil anything else, I will leave it at that. Read the book, before seeing the movie, you will not be sorry.
