Did he do that, I did not hear that! ;) That's not good!

Well, I started to read the book on the bus journey to work this morning, and already the first chapter is totally different from the film, it is an easy read, and I nearly missed my stop, I was so engrossed! :P
(ssssh, I picked this one up for free! So when I finish, I will release it into the "wild" (Bookcrossing.com), or pass it to you to continue its journey?
Well, if it's free I'll give it a shot! (I just don't want to contribute to Nicholas's wallet by upping the sales of his books even more) :p Thanks for the offer!
I know, I normally go to the library to get my books to read....

Seen this today at Croydon.

This film was far too long and no action. There were a couple of twists but apart from that I couldn't stop looking at my watch.

There was gorgeous scenery which did make me want to visit but nothing else. A film that should have gone straight to DVD.

I quite liked this! Fairly predictable, but I really like Julianne Hough and the scenery was beautiful. Kind of a Sleeping with the Enemy update for the 21st century

I though this was entertaining enough, nothing to write home about though. I thought the acting was poor and the film was overlong and dragged on a bit. It was quite dark (I have not seen the trailer or new what it was about) which surprised me. I though it was gonna be some soppy romance film!

Strangely entertaining despite the obvious Swiss cheese-size plot holes:

[spoiler]How can she been "wanted" for first degree murder? Where's the body? Who did she kill? I know she was married to a dodgy copper who cooked it up but how can fake wanted posters go up all over America without it being checked out?[/spoiler]
