L6-L9, I know, right? I understand making movies from a book presents many constraints, but still, the editors kind of go too far with the bits they exclude! Sometimes, they chop off such important sections of the story that all you're left with is a different story altogether creating wholly different nuances. I much prefer reading the book first before seeing a movie adaptation of it 'cause I know I'll be missing too great portions of the whole story if I go to the movie first. And that's rarely satisfying. Anyway, rambling now :) Enjoyed this a lot, and I've noted the title you recommend for my to-get books list, thanks.

Nice one Tom; and the blending in of your own experience with book buying works well. I remember the film, but haven't read the book, and I must get The House of Life.

I'm with you. It's a gem of a movie and the kind of book you read and recommend to everyone you know—which is exactly what you're doing in your poem.
