“I could never figure out why one of my favorite movies, The Postman, didn’t do so well and got trashed by the critics.”

IMHO-—”The Postman” is an excellent book, but many were disappointed that the movie used the name, but very little else from the story.

I read the book second.

It was somewhat dismal.

BTW - I meant that the PLOT was somewhat dismal [as in a "downer", as compared to the plot of the movie], not the writing.

The writing was good.
