Audiobook of the week

 



there is a film based on the book, but it is disappointing. The cinematography is bland, but the main problem is that the characters are miscast.

Kristin, a luminous beauty who is loved by half a dozen of the men in the saga, is shown in the film as a plain looking neurotic girl. And worse, her love interest and later husband, Erland, is portrayed as a plain looking nerd, not the charismatic and brave knight of the saga. Kristin's original finace, a country bumpkin but loyal in the book, is portrayed by a good looking sympathetic character that makes one wonder why Kristin left him for Erland.

One does wish the book could be made into a miniseries.
