According to a dear friend of mine, he recommended that
I should watch the movie first before reading the book.
Why?
That's because
I kept telling him that every time
I read the book first,
I will end up being disappointed by the movie.
Since his reasoning were sound (
enough),
I'd thought that
I will try that with this one.
The most memorable scenes in the movie were the elaborated, luxurious and extravagant parties!
Omg. So pretty! Colorful! Oh so fun!
However, this was a sad tale. Human nature. The good not necessarily are the best nor the bad aren't exactly evil. How sad. How sad...
