Great movie! Not so great book...… I purchased this book as I thought the book would be better than the movie. Wrong! The movie is perfect in every way. The book spends much time on the mechanics of defusing bombs and almost nothing on the sensuousness of the ill-fated couple. The book would be more enjoyed by men, I believe, as it explains many interesting things about the desert, etc. The author spend hours and hours researching before writing the book, and it shows.

Great book. Beats the movie hands down. Read it for the history; while you read the story, comprehend it in terms of time and space. Where are you now and how do you live? Who has been here before you and how did they live? Focus on culture, space, time. How much of who you are is determined by the shared identity of those around you and how inextricably linked is your nationality and identity? Good read
