I did read it again, and was disappointed. Somehow, for me, it had
lost its air of originality. I'd almost classify it as a "read

Have you seen the film? The film is very different than the book but
in some ways is a better experience even though so much is left out.
I rarely look at a film based on a book I have read, because I've been
disappointed too many times. I think I did see the film in this case,
but my main memory of it is "not as good as the book".
