  Cold Mountain as a novel, in my opinion, although I enjoy with the romantic and dramatic novels, I have found it quite slow and lack of action. The author makes you get involved in the story, and imagine the scene and situation, but I think it´s spends too much time explaining all the details.
  Personally, I haven´t found it difficult to read, it has a quite affordable vocabulary, which makes the reading to be agile.

  A very long journey back to his lover, Inman died when he finally reached his goal. Beautiful lines. Boring at times. A good war story.

  A brilliant first novel! It has now been made into a film which i have yet to see, do hope it is as good as the book.

  Yes it is, very well cast as well. Saw the film on Sky Italia August 05, good timing as I always prefer to read the book first if possible.
