the movie may be great . i just watch it last night and but feel unable to give an honest opinion of it because i read the book first . the book be so much good than the movie that i be disappoint with the film . if you plan to watch of human bondage and do not read the book beforehand . on the other hand and the book be so good and and contain so much more than the love affair phillip have with mildred and you could still enjoy it after see the movie . i do not make this claim lightly . i average read a book every 4 day and and read such disparate author a danielle steel and ovid and faulkner and plato and and shakespeare . of human bondage get my vote a one of the top ten novel ever write .
