Great Twists and Turns

Whenever I see a film that I really enjoy, I immediately want to read the book. My library had a copy of this book, and I just finished reading it. While some parts are on the slow side, it really is a great read. In fact, the book is probably even better if you don't know the plot through the film. There are several differences between the film and book. The book is set in France, and the ending of the book differs just a bit. Give the authors of the book credit- while the film is wonderful due to the performances and direction, you can't discount how clever the plot is. It's a shame that this book is not more widely available.
