Summary: A Love Only a Movie Can Give
Review: Unlike most, I find this book intriging; something only a movie can provide. I've read the book The English Patient and have to say I like this much better. When I first saw the movive I instantly fell in love with it. It's about a man who is burned in a plain shot down by Germans in WW2. He is marked "English Patient" by the hospital caravans. Through his long journey he has flash backs of his life with Katherine; of his intimate and intense affair with the only woman he has ever loved. The one problem is, she is married. He carries with him always his book, The Histories, by Herodotus, the father of history. Through reading The Histories, and hearing the people around him speaking, bringing back memeories of a life he wants no one to know about, he finally reveals the sad and tragic end to his love that will make you wet the pages with your tears. I recomend this for all hopeless romantics. But, before you read the screenplay watch the movie. It will bring tears to your eyes even more seeing the actors playing the scenes out in your mind. Love, passion and tragic death. Great combinations!
