I read it years ago, and have just bought the Kindle version to read again and do a review for FFB.

I saw <i>A Single Man</i> and it was also a case of style over substance. Everyone looked great in their costumes. Fabulous sets, too. Colin Firth was fairly good. But the movie meandered. Isherwood's book is much better. I guess I'll avoid NOCTURNAL ANIMALS even though I enjoy watching Jake G on the screen no matter how bad the movie. ;^)J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-31421420357937743722017-01-06T12:18:30.221-05:002017-01-06T12:18:30.221-05:00Sorry you were disappointed in this one, Patti.
