I read the novel 4 years ago and loved it. Did I wish this movie was more suspenseful and more "gritty". Yes, tho, still the movie was well made and well acted and I ended up crying a couple times in the movie. The mood is very somber and serious. It is not a silly romantic com. It is a serious romance exhibiting serious issues of abuse and heartbreak and murder and the wrath of nature.
