But I haven't read it in years, so maybe I'll dust it off one of these days. <br /><br />I know I've seen the Pierce Brosnan adaptation, but it was long ago.

I've honestly never read the book or seen a film adaption-- so now I'll be looking into it!

I will make it a point to read this book. I have not seen any movies based on the book. <br /><br />I enjoyed reading your review.Collar City Brownstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263975908686070121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490346761566035007.post-43543338370450751482013-02-20T08:35:37.971-05:002013-02-20T08:35:37.971-05:00This is a classic that I've not read and it ha...This is a classic that I've not read and it hasn't really been on my radar to read, but your review really intrigued me and so I'm adding it to the list.<br /><br />It is one of those books, like Pilgrim's Progress, that I think shaped and influenced generations in that it was a powerful story and often one of only a handful that many people had access to. <br /><br />I enjoyed your review and the comparison of movie to book. I always feel it's a shame when filmmakers hijack names and titles and basically throw out the meat of the story. JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.com
