The Lover by Marguerite Duras was so nice even though I have read a few excepts I found it so interesting and when I get the chance I plan to go to barnes and nobles to buy the book. Ultimately I can tell its about her as a female.. growing up just too quickly. Wanting to be an adult by doing what adults do. Her love affair with the wealthy chinese man makes me cover my mouth and giggle because it is so taboo. If it was to happen today it would be called sagitory rape. She was 15! I kind of understand how she felt though. Sometimes I do wonder myself if I rushed my life, my relationship. I mean I got married at 20 and had a baby at 22. Most people like my mom for example, (dont say it directly to me but I can get the feeling that she) thinks I just ruined my life and I wasted my youth. But I do not feel that way, I am so glad I have the love of my life and a beautiful baby boy. I created a family for myself and I'm happy which is what matters right? Some people make make hasty decsions in life but I feel that ultimately its how you react to them afterwards that shows who you are. I can't wait to buy this book when I get the chance.

This is one case where the film equals the book in beauty and artistic achievement. But the book is certainly essential for the movie cannot ever get un inside the character's mind the way the book does.
