Welllllll.....the first time I read it, I must say that I scanned it rather quickly looking for the meat of the story only realizing until after I had seen the movie, that my impatience caused me to completely miss the beat and nuances of this wonderful book. I picked it up again and could not believe what a treasure I missed the first time round. If you find it hard to get into, please go see the movie and then pick it up again. You will
clearly appreciate it much better. It is a gem of a book.
