Read the Book

Rating: 3/10 (9 July 2001)

If you want Hollywood glamour, watch this film, but if you want to read about Henry's real life trek and fight to get to Lhasa and to be accepted amongst the Tibet people then read the book.
I read the book and found it fascinating, the culture and kindness of the Tibet people, yet the film just seemed to be me to be Hollywood tale of war, and deceit. And Brad Pitts German style accent is annoying.
