Your 'Friday Links' are often giving me ideas for posts, and your monthly run-down of the adaptations that are being released really keeps me on track. Thanks so much.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14589126539759749197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454358483559743681.post-39199749690116589922012-04-11T08:41:32.345+10:002012-04-11T08:41:32.345+10:00Hi Ruth.

I particularly liked what you said about Torday's ability to craft realistic characters - and how you wanted more of them, and less social commentary. I think the filmmakers shared your perspective - the film provides much more of a character study, and is much more satisfying in this way. I'd love it if you could stop by again and let me know how you think the film compares to the book, when you get the chance to see it.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14589126539759749197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454358483559743681.post-89703857717427318412012-04-11T04:26:59.491+10:002012-04-11T04:26:59.491+10:00Great review!

And I'm glad that it's about more than salmon fishing. :)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04013592464881717371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7454358483559743681.post-65720100145602400022012-04-10T22:34:26.454+10:002012-04-10T22:34:26.454+10:00I'm hoping to see this film sometime this week...I'm hoping to see this film sometime this week -- I just finished the book myself Sunday and posted about it yesterday -- the book was very much outside my reading norm, but there was a lot a that I liked about it. Very curious to see for myself how it is translated to the screen.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11986319237275869540noreply@blogger.com
