Thoughts

After watching the film and being… bemused at best, a bit of googling suggested all the answers we were looking for would be in the book. I had a look at how much the book would cost and whaddayaknow, I already had it in my TBR. So, that’s how we got here. Actually, I don’t think it did answer anything but I have to admit the read was better than the watch because it had more to it and felt less drawn out. Still, gutted I’ve lived through this story twice now and am no further along.
