I'm so glad I read the book instead of just seeing the movie. I loved the book. And beyond Andrea letting Miranda walk all over her, in the end she completely kept her dignity, in the movie, not so much.

As an ambitious freshman in high school and an admirer of purported speed-reader John F. Kennedy, I took my lawn-cutting and sidewalk-shoveling savings and applied it to tuition for Evelyn Wood's Reading Dynamics course to be taught in a basement room at the Park Ridge Inn. I was quite successful with the method, only later coming to see it as merely a form of skimming, completing the program without absences and practicing on my own. Among the authors read were Adam Smith, Ayn Rand, Robert Louis Stevenson and Booker T. Washington. Although I was pretty naive at that age, the conservative tenor of the curriculum was apparent, particularly as regards Rand and Washington. The accomodationism of the latter contrasted sharply with the programmes of such diverse civil rights leaders as A. Philip Randolph, Martin Luther King and Stokely Carmichael. I lacked enough understanding of the USA in the late nineteenth century to appreciate what Washington was up against and, so, was offended.
