I finished the book just 3 days before this mini series aired the first time so the story was fresh in my mind.
They kept the main characters and the very basics of the story.
And though the rest out.
I kept watching each night in horror, hoping it would improve.
It never did.
The main characters where so over acted and poorly done it was just painful to see. And the plot was so hokey; I swear I saw it once in a Saturday morning cartoon.
I think they should pass a law, before you can turn a book into a movie the screenwriters and director should have to read the book first.
From now on I'll skip anything made from a book I liked.
