am i the only person who has read this ?

Rating: 5/10 (9 June 2010)

I always get annoyed with people who say something is a brilliant book when in actual fact they have n't actually read it , they have seen the film .
The very fact that the film for some reason takes place out of Ireland with one Irish person in it is enough to send this down the point scale from ten. Why not just put a different title on if it's not completely faithful to the book in every detail.And characters added who were n't there in the book .
The remarkable Kathy Bates as always understatedly carries every scene and film she appears in. Hilary Swank is rather too whiny.
If you love the book, don t watch.
