If you liked the book, then you will love the adaptation of the movie. Yes, thank Witherspoon and company for staying true to the book within the two hour time limit. A year or more fell while watching this movie. Some of the slower parts of the book were handled adeptly through illustration. Bravo. I don't usually watch movies again, but this will be one I will for sure. PoignantPoignantsocietal issues from the period that still resonate today are throughout. Run to see this movie. . .you will come out of the theatre we'll pleased. Cudos to all the cast!
