I was disappointed in this, mostly because after all the hype, I expected to REALLY love it. Instead, I just felt underwhelmed: mostly, because the plot is very jumpy and you see snippets of time that aren’t always well connected. I can see how it would be a much more interesting book than film! The costumes were quite nice but not overwhelmingly so – Keira Knightley’s much-discussed green evening dress is lovely, but not anything for the history books.
