I usually try never to see films of books before I've read the book, for this very reason: - films nearly always insist on a happy ending, which means that a different message in the book, coming after the one on the film, is bound to disappoint. But I guess the message of this book is pretty depressing anyway!!Elizabeth Baineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193751871434773972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33010980.post-79311644130216579802022-03-15T21:55:20.135+00:002022-03-15T21:55:20.135+00:00I just finished reading In The Cut, which I purcha...I just finished reading In The Cut, which I purchased after having watched the movie, in hopes of gaining a deeper insight into the characters. I was fascinated by the movie. Of course, I had no idea of the difference in the ending of the book vs the movie, and I was blindsided and heartbroken when I read it. I felt quite invested in the character of Frannie, sharing several similarities in personality, interests and education, and the movie ending left me feeling hopeful for her future. But the book's ending brutally destroyed that, and made me feel so sad, so defeated. It is certainly a powerful book, and Susanne Moore's writing is wonderful. But, I regret reading it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16176706466387946805noreply@blogger.com
