Too Hollywood-ish (I can't explain it otherwise)
This film could have been great, but it wasn't.
Wasn't belivable at all. It wasn't true to the book!
Annie did not leave Carl when she was pregnant and the florist was not such a CLOSE friend to her.
And what about Carl and Annie lying on the mattress in the factory and being interrupted? NEVER happened.
Carl was borderline abusive!
VERY disappointing after reading the fine book.
This is definitely one film that should be remade and PLEASE take the story from the novel!
