Title: The movie's story is better told than that of the book on which it is based
Review: The movie's story is better told than that of the book on which it is based.I have rule when starting to read a book: If the first 10 through 20 pages of a book bore the bejeesus out of me, I don't continue on with it. I would have applied this rule to P.D. James's "The Children of Men", if not for the fact that I started reading the book after having seen the superb movie on which the book is based. I am only continuing on--more truthfully, slogging through--because I am curious as to the difference between the story of the movie and the book.
Is the review positive or negative?
