I remember watching this movie when I was younger and it’s always stuck with me. I enjoyed reading the story and comparing it to what I remembered from the film. I didn’t appreciate the language in the book but considering its publication date I understand. I wish there had been more exploration into some of the characters.
I’m a big fan of the jumping back and forth in timelines to tell the story. It worked really well with this particular story.
