Query: Better movie, maybe

Ms. Rice was never one of my favorite writers, but there is no comparison of her books to this one. I usually think that a book suffers by becoming a movie, but this would not -- I too kept thinking that it would make a better movie than novel due to Mr. Lord-Wolff's extensive reliance on plot and things visual. But the book has no sense of humor or irony about it at all, and has no ending. Open -ended non-endings work well in fiction that relies more on character development, but in a story like this, where plot is the entire impetus of the book, unresolved questions and ending in the middle of things don't succeed.
