I haven't seen the movie, but listened to the audio book one time when I had a long drive.
I had never read the book, and after the movie I tried to read it but it was pretty different than the movie. Emma Thompson made changes that I think made it better. When I was a teenager I read all those books like Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, Rebecca, etc.
