Having seen and loved the Ang Lee movie, with Emma Thompson's screenplay, first, I didn't know what the book would add. As usual though, the book gives more depth to the characters and plot, and Willoughby's actions are more understandable, although still wrong. A few other changes, like a wife and children for Sir John Middleton, but overall an enjoyable read. The character change in Marianne from vivacious to sedate, is such a departure that I find it hard to believe, broken heart or not.
