The Last King of Scotland

[Kay]

Just finished it - hated it, felt it needed a good editor and a good shake-up! Presumably this is one of those rarities where the film is SO much better. Will rent it and let you know!

I didn't know this was a book!! I LOVED the movie! :)

The book isn't as good as the movie - which is so much better. I didn't hate it, but I wasn't blown away by it.

Forest W as Amin was superb in the movie and really blew me away. I read the book after (perhaps the only way I could have enjoyed it) and it just fell flat.

Garrigan is a bit of a twerp and isn't a strong enough character to hold the book. Amin is few and far between. Garrigan is just to annoying to enjoy.

I had this on my reading list. The movie was incredible. Maybe I will pass this one by.

Aw, don't pass it by without taking a look at it. It wasn't THAT bad. But I don't think I'd have read it or enjoyed reading it (cos I did) had I not seen the movie.
