Unfortunately, I did not get an opportunity to finish the book. However, I did get to see the movie, and again found it very difficult to get into. The actors were superb, as was the music, and the cinematography. But the story itself was dull, uninspiring, and very un-original. I was disappointed in my disappointment. The other three people I was with, enjoyed the movie tremendously, one person even cried openly, as did others in the audience. I guess it was just not "my cup of tea", so to speak.
