I didn't guess, until well into the book, that Claude was the soldier in the prologue that was purchasing the instant poison from the herbalist in S. Korea. Since this was before the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Claude hatched his diabolic plot to murder his hated brother and bed his brother's wife long before he reenters their lives.<BR/><BR/>Will the movie leave the prologue out? We would know Claude as the murderer just by his voice even if his face was not on the screen. I think this would destroy the element of surprise for people who see the movie, but haven't read the book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521348297206014365.post-74307008327229403012008-12-31T15:04:00.000-06:002008-12-31T15:04:00.000-06:00I'm glad someone else feels the same way I do!

I have been wanting to have someone to discuss it with since I finished it a week ago. I feel like I'm in mourning, and I've never felt that emotionally invested in a book before. I keep asking what was it all for if in the end everything was lost? Why has the author done such a brilliant job of getting us to love his characters to such a degree, and the story, and the history of the family, and the breeding of the Sawtelle dogs only to have it all go away? I'm having a hard time with that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
