I love the BBC adaptation of Bleak House too! Somehow, I have a feeling that the book will be difficult to get through. At least for me, once I see the movie/TV mini, I feel as if I already know the ending and the suspense evaporates. Unless, of course, there’s something special about the story that makes me feel like I’ve “gotta” read the book because there’s more to the story and I’ve gotta find out what that is.
Gillian Anderson was spectacular in Bleak House; I didn’t even know it was her at first.
