I DREAMED OF AFRICA

I was also disappointed with this film. Little of the feeling for the country and the characters that is evident in Kukki Gallman's book comes out in the film.The filming of the scenery is beautiful but then again it is somehow bland. It lacks the really stunning beauty of Kenya and the fullness of the characters.

This is a real example of it being much better to see the film before reading the book. The book, I have already read twice and would willingly read several more times. I doubt if I will see the fim again.
