I have purposely ignored this one (and 'Me before you' etc although I accidentally watched this on the plane so now I want to read it!) so I will do so for a while longer. I did the same over Titanic the movie and I STILL haven't seen it almost 20 years on!!Kezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705356707599121605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-38520912384503821082017-02-08T20:24:30.504+00:002017-02-08T20:24:30.504+00:00My daughter, who is a film student, has seen the f...My daughter, who is a film student, has seen the film and thinks it is excellent although she doesn't think I would like it (too violent). I thought the book was awful. I'm not sure I finished it. Mainly, like you say, because I don't suppose I am the target audience.Nearly Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01594432566473391552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-39413373765488182362017-02-08T09:43:32.191+00:002017-02-08T09:43:32.191+00:00Thank you for such a full comment.

But yes, too much hype for too little real content.

None of us (8 in the group) enjoyed it as we felt the characters were not credible or sympathetic. We did not score it but I think 2 stars is about right. I have not seen the film because of my feelings about the book and I do not like Ben Affleck as an actor. Whatever he stars in he is always Ben Affleck rather than the character he plays. Any way I think this book had so much hype bandied about on publication is was one of those "must reads" with sadly to say a lot of style above content. Wishing you a lovely day.
