spoiler throughout . i have read the book 1st to die and want to see if the movie follow the book so i watch it . for the most part it do . there be some minor difference ( location of the last violent scene for instance ) but not many and for the most part the movie stay true to the book more so then most movie . this may have be a mistake although the movie be perfectly cast with pollen and bellow especially i be not that impressed with the book . or let me take that back . i start off very impressed and gradually become more disillusioned and by the end be leave completely unsatisfied and felt almost gyp . no difference with the movie . here be why . there be no payoff in the book and or the movie . rarely have i read a who do it thriller that have create such a letdown with it final resolution and i have hop the movie would vary a little . the whole ( he do it and no she do it and no they both do it ) be not interesting and not fascinating and more confusing and annoy and depress then anything else . add to that and that the love of lindsay life dy at the end ( after her disease cleares and she cry at his grave ) . and then cut to where she contemplate suicide . then all of a sudden she in a fight for her life with the real villain who be clear after be arrest . but it turn out he and the wife be in it together . hello . this whole thing have now become general hospital instead of a good old fashion thriller . i felt cheat and rip off by the book and watch the movie ( i must admit it hold my attention nicely the acting be very good for a tv movie ) be hop it wouldn not follow the book which it wind up do . i still think the movie be watchable and for some reason do not leave a bad a taste in your mouth a the book ( or maybe it just that i know what would happen ) but i have to say the way this story unravel be not well do at all .
