soulkissed2003 's review for:

Victoria & Abdul by Shrabani Basu
1.0

I picked up a DVD of the movie at the local library. I enjoyed it, even though it wasn't very fast paced. It was an interesting historical story with excellent acting. When I realized it was based on a book, of course I wanted to read it.

The book is usually better than the movie, but not in this case. While the movie was able to break up dryer spots with a bit of humor or fun, the book was just dry. I just could not get into it enough to make it through very far.
