For some reason, the movie is difficult for me to watch. I usually pass it up, if I see it in the listings.<br /><br />As always, I prefer the book.<br /><br />Wonderful post, Dewena.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06299046595417080834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334613666852273616.post-40450902075691540562013-06-08T11:38:08.820-07:002013-06-08T11:38:08.820-07:00I have not seen the movie or read the book.
