Title: Don't forget to read the books
Review: Movie is great....however the books are better. If after watching the movie you find yourself craving for more, you can get your Hornblower "fix" from the 11 book set. I read the books when I was a teenager and again last year. Now that I have watched the DVD, I'm ready to read the books again. A&E did a wonderful job making this movie. The only downside, if you can even call it that, is the fact they only portray Hornblower in his early days, while the books go from "Midshipman" to "Lord Hornblower". I guess I would rate the DVD as a nice compliment to the books.
Is the review positive or negative?
