Rating: 8/10 (11 November 2012)

Book is better than the movie. The movie irritated my at first because they didn't just leave out parts of the stories (I mean they had to or else the movie would have been 6 hours long) but t literally CHANGES extremely important details so it is not completely true to the novel.
However, my irritation was completely wiped out when the movie ended because it was the best ending I have ever seen. Literally, the only word I can describe it as is beautiful. I sat in the theatre and cried for a good 10 minutes as the credits rolled by.
The movie also stayed true to the major themes and concepts which are th most important factors to this story.
A side note--- it was irritating to see them try to make the Asian look white,the Englishman to look Asian, and Nurse Nooks a man in drag.
