I wouldn't say that I didn't like the book; however I found it a bit difficult to "get into". The book read more like a documentary than a story, but it was very interesting. I would have liked to know more about the actual therapy sessions that the king had with the therapist. I did like the emphasis on the friendship that blossomed from their lessons together and I liked that the therapist was so encouraging to the king as he helped him through his speach impediment.
Gernally, it was a good story. As I understand from others, the movie was better than the book...which is unusual as most people prefer the book to the movie. The book lacked "drama," but the story was intersting and informative.
Very different from the movie. Biography about speech therapist, Lionel Logue. Not much emphasis or insight into royal family life.
