for admitting I didn't like the book.
You certainly shall.
You know, I advice you to read the book again. It's a big space of time, and if then you were unable to understand it, it doesn't mean that you didn't develop and change for the better in all these years.
Then, maybe, you shall see that the book is much deeper and more subtle than the movie, especially in character development, and that the movie adds a lot of trash into the plot.
