I have had this book for ages and decided to read it as a book project. I found it to be a good book, a long one, but well worth the read. I had watched the movie before reading the book and now I know better then to do that one, as the book is sure different from the movie. But I enjoyed both, the movie and the book.I found both very emotional. This book will stay with me for a long time.It is the first book I have read by the author, but wont be my last. What a great story.
