“Why is this called "The Painted Veil?" I just watched the movie, but haven't read the book. I was just wondering as the movie doesn't really tell me”
“The movie was very good, but I didn't like the book. The end ruind the book for me, i liked the movie ending better.”
“rubbish!? I thoroughly enjoyed it, but thought it went a little soft at the end!”
“Total rubbish!”
“This is the only time I can ever remember enjoying the movie more than the book. Though the book was very good and well written, the movie improves the plot line, particularly around the relationship b/w Kitty and Walter, as well as the ending.”
“A good book. I saw the movie first though, so it was kind of ruined for me by my expectations. I liked the movie better, which is not at all like the book.”
“I had been read this book for a long time but it still remains in my mind . the events are so exciting and the end was so tragical.”
“I enjoyed this book a great deal except for the last 3 or 4 pages. I felt the dialogue was stilted and insincere for Kitty at that point of the book. A lot of books seem to have the problem of how to neatly wrap up the story. I'm sorry this was one of them because otherwise, it was wonderful.”
“This isn't the best book I have ever read. Didn't have the substance I am usually looking for in a book.”
“I just watched this movie yesterday. I found it a little predictable. I bet the book is really good though. The story left me wondering about the level or lack of bonding of Kitty with the orphanage children. Still - it's a very interesting story.”
