The opening scene is very graphic, isn’t it? ~shudder~
I am kindof like you, I don’t care for any of the characters, and it’s sortof a love story with occasional bits about the horse.
I just don’t remember much about the book, other then I really really did not like the mother, and I hated the ending, which from what I’ve heard is completely different from the movie.
The opening scene was pretty bad....my dog went and hid:)...all my gasping and groaning scared her I think:)
