BBC America has this on right now! Was channel surfing and found it right before this scene. Such a good movie, and a great soundtrack! I only remember the book as being okay. Anyone else read this?

mrsmarch My dad's favorite book since he was a teenager and he has never been much of a reader. I couldn't finish it 😭 7y
Gezemice I loved it as a kid, but I read everything back then and what my parents had in abundance was classics. I loved all adventure stories, especially Indians! I do not know if I would like it now... maybe I should give it a try... 7y
Jabberwocky I read the book for an American lit course and remember loving it. That might just be because I was actually reading a novel for real actual university though... 😆📖 7y

Seshat I believe this is one of those rare cases when the movie is better. 7y
LauraBrook @mrsmarch it's not the easiest to get into for sure. If I didn't have to write a paper on it I probably would've bailed too. 7y
LauraBrook @Gezemice I remember more political things than Indian and adventures, but it's been 20 years. Curious to see what you think if you reread it! 7y
LauraBrook @Jaberwocky I read it in college too ( either for Am Lit or the movie and book class), and I finished it but struggled. I think some of it had to do with it coming at the end of the semester and burnout, you know. Hmmm, wonder what it would be like to read now? 7y
LauraBrook @Seshat I'm okay with that. Daniel Day-Lewis is fantastic in everything. And I might have to pull out the soundtrack cd to listen to tomorrow morning. 😊 7y
KathyWheeler I couldn't finish the book, but I always just loved this movie! 7y
Cortg No, it we have the Classic Illustrators edition for kids. I have had it on my TBR forever and a day.! 7y
[DELETED] 3803335244 I loved this movie but the book 😞 it dragged for miles & miles! Lol 😂 7y
akc2ngel I had a hard time reading the book until I watched a production on KET. Once I heard the spoken lines I better understood the language flow and could then finish reading the book. 7y
LauraBrook @akc2ngel Interesting, and I can totally see how that would help! I'll happily watch the movie from the beginning to see what Daniel Day-Lew... I mean, what the plot is like again. 😲☺️ 7y
