I resisted reading this for years. Years. I wrote it off as romance pap; nothing I'd be interested in.

Yet something made me pick it up, and I was amazed to find it is one of the best-written books I've ever encountered. Even now, all I need to do is think back and I can conjure up the mental images the book produced in me. And I've read probably two hundred books since then.

I say all this with one caveat: I never saw the movie. I strongly suspect I don't want to.
