Midnight's Children

It's been 3 years since I read this book. I wasn't crazy about it, I thought it was a little slow. The movie did a good job of taking the high points and leaving out the "extra". I believe the plot followed the novel closely, as I remembered most of the major events. I thought the acting was great, and the main character had a sweetness about him. I'm not sure if this film was ever even released in the US. It looks like it won some awards in Canada. But I would give it a thumbs-up. It captured the heart of the book without the slow development.
