I had started reading the book last summer, but I only got about a third of the way through it. Anyway, I really enjoyed the movie while I was watching it. The plot hangs together better than anything I've seen in a while. A few days later, when I started thinking about the movie, I felt like they had just gone through the motions of the plot. All of the actions were there, but WHY things were happening wasn't very clear. In spite of this, I would recommend the movie. You can't help caring what happens to the characters, and I especially liked the way the good and bad on both sides (Israel and the PLO) was shown. Sue Brunkow
