A lot of people think that if they didn't like the movie, for whatever reason, the book will not to be to their taste. I always thought they did a really good job adapting the book in most respects, but that's because it's pretty much an impossible story to actually film as is. They pushed the most primary of the main characters a little into the background to focus on the tragic love story/spy story of Almasy and Katherine, because it really is the most cinematic story, and also the one that every other character in the book revolves around when they come together. But the writing is just exquisite, Ondaatje in general is so much my jam.
