I saw they have the movie out now..... if you haven't read the book, I suggest it...is AMAZING. Because I have issues with reading and writing and the help I get from the neurology clinic and the Pain management clinic stopped with COVID, Sarita read it to me a few months ago. It is absolutely amazing. I don't think I will watch the movie, because none of the actors they cast are nowhere near my idea of the characters from the book.... very few books I loved made it to screen in a fitting way, actually the only one that has been perfectly true to the description of characters for me is David Sachet as Poirot (Agatha Christie) I started reading her at 12 yea`rs old, and when I first saw the series (here in England and I was well into my 40s) I fell in love because he is EXACTLy what Christie describes. I remember not being disappointed with The Shining (also centuries ago LOL) I am in a lot of pain and no very social, but I have been thinking this week every time the ad for the movie comes up in TV, to come share with you guys
I thought the same thing about the actors not being right when I saw the trailer for the show! I read the book and those actors are not at all what I pictured in my head. I will probably still watch the show because I secretly love to watch a show/movie made from a book I've read, just so I can say... "the book was better"
I watched this movie last night while transferring files to my new EHD and I thought it was pretty good. The pace seemed so fast though since it was only a movie and there was so much more to the book. But it was decent.
I haven't read the book, but I did see the ads for the movie. I'm still trying to figure out if I'll watch it or not!
Isn't it usually? The only time the movie was as good as the book was The Girl with the Pearl Earring. Saw the movie then read the book ... I was impressed by how closely the movie was to the book!
I read the book and I watched the movie...both were good. 99% of the time, I prefer the book, but in this case, it's a close call. I thought the main character wasn't very likeable, but I'm a huge Amy Adams fan (she's a local) and I thought she brought something to the character that made her more understandable.
I loved the book Behind Her Eyes but didn't know there was a movie. I'll have to look for that. I'm halfway thru the Woman In The Window and am enjoying it so far. It's a fast read, I should finish it this wkend.
We LOVED Behind Her Eyes, but I didn't even know it was a book until after we watched the show. Do you think the book would be worth reading after I already watched the show?
Hmmmm...I dunno....the best part of the book was finding out the twist. The show did a GREAT job though
I wish I could forget the whole thing to see how the book wrote the twist. I bet if I wait a year or two I will forget. Ha ha!
Thanks MrsP ! another one put on hold. (I do get to freeze holds before they're available which if I can catch them like that saves me from having a blitz of books at once.)
