Query: A disappointment

Since "Riders" is my all-time favorite book, I was thrilled to find it had been made into a video. Apparently it's impossible to translate 920 pages of novel onto the screen successfully, even at the length of 3 1/2 hours, which the video was. Perhaps it's because Jilly Cooper's characters as written are so other-wordly, so impossibly handsome or charming or spoiled or WHATEVER, but none of the actors in this movie were at all how I imagined them from the book. The actor playing Rupert especially was a disappointment -- he had none of the easy charm and calculating cruelty that Jilly's Rupert had. I can't recommend this video, but I can suggest you buy the book instead!
