Not Just Me, Then

In my review of Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens I suggested that Owens may have had an eye on the film rights when she wrote it.
If that is the case then her hopes have been fulfilled. A film has indeed been made.
On 22/7/22 I read Peter Bradshaw’s review of that film in The Guardian.
He articulates about the film many of the reservations I had about the book – even down to its resemblances to To Kill a Mockingbird.
Mind you, the good lady thought there was some good writing in the book – descriptions of the marshland and such.
I must confess I missed that. It had too many plot holes and downright unbelievable aspects for me, which overshadowed any good aspects.
I said in that earlier post that it might make a good film. Bradshaw is clearly of the opinion it doesn’t.
