I finally finished reading The Constant Gardener by John Le Carre a little less than two weeks ago. My early apprehensions of the book were corrected later, when the story actually turned into the spy novel I was expecting and it turned into a really entertaining read.
Shortly after finishing the book I went out and purchased the DVD of the film adaptation. All the film did was once again establish that most novels should not be converted to film. The movie was ... well ... alright at best, but didn't do the book justice. Not even Canadian justice. Hell, not even American justice. They changed some of the best parts of the movie! Trash!

Ahh.. John Le Carre - one of my all time favorite authors.
Haven't seen this particular movie, but years ago, read The Drummer Girl - then saw that movie. The movie sucked after reading the book.
