We used it in my book group a couple of years ago. I liked the film too. Have you read the Samurai's Garden by Gail Tsukiyama. That's another picturesque read.

That is why I have so far avoided Atonement. Although I believe it is meant to be quite a good film, I am sure it will leave me frustrated by the details it leaves out. And the Golden compass has apparently been watered down to appease the book-burning crowd. I even avoided Hannibal at the time, and then never got around to watching it. And that is without bringing up the frustration and difficulty of avoiding my son watching the Harry Potter films before I have read him the books!

Way too skimmed over, the characters werent explored enough and it was extremely weak! I wouldnt bother with the film. I was so excited about watching it after reading the book numerous times and seriously dissapointed! Wanderer7 I would thoroughly reccomend reading the book! Amazing very detailed book, awful film…..

I am usually reluctant to see the film of a book that I liked as however middle classed it may make me sound, they so rarely live up to expectations. I usually succumb to it in the end though. I did think the end was a little convenient. I have not seen the film.
