I read this book because I am a big Kate Winslet fan and wanted to read the novel for the new movie she is in. I can see how this book is going to translate well to film. Mostly because this book does not give a lot of descriptions to things that are going on save for a few elemental things that the narrator held on to from his youth so when it's translated to film you don't loose a lot of that details that books tend to loose. I found it a very easy read but it didn't captivate me like I hoped it would.
