Title: Nothing like the book.
Product review: I have read Marion Zimmer Bradley's book and this TV production in no way resembles it.Reading the book, I did not envision Igraine as portrayed by Julianna, nor Viviane by Angelica, Guenevere as a bleach-blonde in false eyelashes, nor the women of Avalon with shaved heads and living in castles!Marion's book is far more intricate, earthy and truer to the time in which the story takes place. She weaves a tale about women that is essentially from a woman's point of view.In contrast, this film version makes many changes, with characters, settings, timelines, and is dark in nature and in appearance. Frankly, it was turned into more of a guy flick. I was so disappointed in Part 1, I didn't bother with Part 2.I found the book refreshing and inspiring, so I recommend the book instead, especially if you're a woman.
