Was this not a TV series? But as far as I know no film version of a book has ever been classed as better than the book.

The book is much better than the tv series. The book had much more detail in it. Problem with making things into film is that the images of the main characters are changed from what you imagined to what hollywood thinks they should look like. Meg was much prettier in my imagination and Ralph's son was a real wimp in the tv series.

The sea coast replaced into filmed in section on Maya Bay off Phi Phi Le. the main sea coast and the island have been made up from a number of photos of diverse islands/seashores (they do no longer probable exist as depicted interior the action picture). you will in all probability recognize Maya sea coast, yet do no longer anticipate a wide sweeping sea coast, the sandy section is very small and frequently very busy with travelers and longtail boats. that's fairly even with the incontrovertible fact that. additionally, in case you're finding for an idyllic sea coast trip, close by Phi Phi Don is fairly staggering and has various inexpensive beachfront bungalows. Hmmmm... i p.c. to circulate myself...

Never read the book, but I remember watching it when I was little and was totally captivated by it. They say the book is always better than the film though.

Aaahhhh.... The Thorn Birds. I remember watching it on TV with my mum in the 80's and thinking it was the most romantic thing i've ever seen. My mum bought it on DVD recently and i'm refusing to watch it, just in case it seems really crap and dated now and spoils my happy memories.

At that time it was a great love story but now it would be made dirty.
Richard Chambalin and Rachel Ward they were good actors at that time.
