I thought this was a pretty poor adaptation of the book, and it really is only an adaptation of the last quarter of the book. Part of the problem was they had to invent scenes to try to get across the large backstory which I understand. But they cut out the family servant, Lee, who is a major character in the book. Also the open conflict between Cal and Aron and the relationship between Cal and Abra are pretty much fabrications. I did like James Dean's acting for the most part though. Some bits were over the top, but over all very good. I guess if you've never read the book this could be a pretty enjoyable movie, but if you have....meh.
