really liked it

I didn't love it quite as much as the show. Where they differ I prefer the book.

Mikey B. I did like both - but was surprised how much I liked the book
I did feel some of the movie scenes were over the top - like when she is in the drugstore - and there prominently displayed beside Time and Newsweek is a chess magazine - as if. ( I mean you would have to search the shelves of a large magazine store to find anything on chess)

Yeah, that seemed unlikely, maybe the owner/pharmacist plays. It's the only way that I imagine it happening then or now.

Yes, it's a treat! I recommend it and the book!


H (no longer expecting notifications) Balikov Nice succinct review, Lori. The mini-series grabbed and held my attention.

Thank you, H! Yep, that's a good one. I haven't run across anyone who didn't enjoy it.
