Was looking for more adventure and was not convinced by the series of convient conincidences and conclusion jumping. The ending did take me by surprise though- which differs substantially from the Hitchcock film. Credit to Hitchcock for actually featuring women unlike Buchan (not that it passes the Bechdel test).

Boring. Only finished because it was short. Too much faffing about in the forest.
