Title: Book is terrible, movie is great
Review: I watched the movie Talk of Angels several times before I knew that it was based on a book. I watched it primarily because I think that Polly Walker is a great actress, but then I got hooked on the story. The story in the movie involves the historical context (precursor to the Spanish civil war) and better explains the characters' motivations. The book is lacking this context and reads like a cheap romance novel at times. I was very disappointed.
