Review title: A travesty of the wonderful original
Product review: It's been a while since I read all the 'Earthsea' books but even my imperfect memory could tell me that this was dreadfully wrong. What a pathetic rendering of a marvellous tale. Without Le Guin's wonderful language, a TV adaptation was always going to be risky, but this just fell flat on its face. My teenage son wandered in, looked, laughed, and went out. I just sat and watched in anguish. Who, having seen that and not knowing the original, is going to go out and read the books?But that's what everyone must do - read the books and let your mind supply the visuals.
