have know and love this book since i be eleven i be terrify to see it come up a a movie what if they would make a dreadful mess of it . in the event i needn not have worry at all . everyone be very well cast and the acting be terrific and it follow the story very well except for the strange addition of the scene in the prison and which to me added nothing at all . however it really be the most beautiful love story and i be so glad i videoed it so i can watch it again and again . my only gripe be why do not they give kester a green waistcoat which make him such a personable man . such a simple thing and when they go to so much trouble for everything else . if you get the chance and see this and it be excellent .
