Julie Coote

It’s strange how so many people rate the book so highly. I found it, as someone below said, riddled with inconsistencies and barely credible. If anyone as sick as Moth supposedly is set out on such a journey then he is clearly daft! I thought some of the ‘holes’ in the book would have been papered over by a good film maker - but no - the little one hears about how the farm and livelihood were lost still makes no sense at all. And, from not believing how Raynor and Moth come to lose their home, sets everything up to feel contrived to me. Sadly, my partner and I were both bored, despite some lovely scenery.

Really, don’t waste time on this awful film. Even Julia Robert’s doesn’t make a positive contribution. Basically it’s just one v long series of events that are not explicable or understood - yes, it’s chaos. But all the time I persevered and waited for some sort of coherent explanation or resolution - but there is nothing. The ending is a real damp squib! Rubbish!
