Negative Positive
Title: Evening the book
Review: Saw the movie first, and loved the movie. Book is very different, and a bit disappointing. Adds little depth to the story or characters, which is what I would have expected from the book, even if it is very different than the movie. I don't think I would have liked the book even if I never saw the movie. Too many characters and an empty ending, just the rambling thoughts of a dying woman. First time ever that I liked the movie more than the book. However, with Claire Dane, Hugh Dancy, Vanessa Redgrave, Mamie Mummer, Natasha Richardson, & Meryl Streep, it would be pretty hard to come out with a bad movie!
