Do yourself a favor and listen to the audiobook instead

Rating: 2/10 (12 May 2015)

I listened to this great book in my car and sometimes drove around just to hear more. After an hour or so of this 137 minute "adaptation", I couldn't keep my eyes open and would not let it ruin the story for me. The author brought the scenes to life in my head and I thought about it for days after. I was hopeful but have found most of Hollywood's versions of books usually miss the mark and I don't waste my time. Too bad all the hype from the mutual admiration society out there gets us all excited for the next big production. Luckily, I got this for free. Acting does not always a director make - Clint Eastwood probably would have knocked it out of the park though!
