This book was so incredibly beautifully written, I almost wish I hadn't watched the movie first, because the movie was so dead on. Barring the choices of who played Cee and Robbie, not that Knightly and McAvoy aren't good actors, but Robbie's supposed to be very big and strong, McAvoy, is kind of slender. But that didn't bother me as much as Knightly, she's supposed to be beautiful but horse-faced...not quite pictureing Knightly for that. So because the movie and book were almost identical everytime I read a sentence of beautiful imagery prosed by McEwan, I pictured a scene from the movie, whether or not that's a good thing or bad thing I can't tell. I can't decide if I like the book better or the movie better. It was tough because I knew exactly what was going to happen as I read the book, but you know what, still by the end of part one I was in tears. When Robbie's mom is screaming "liars, LIARS!" it got to me, it was so heart breaking. I have a couple of quotes dog-earred in my book, but I'm at work now so I'll add them later.
