Review of Affinity (2008) by Lauren H — 18 Jun 2013
Madeley is really good, and the writing isn't bad. The direction is so terrible though; artless, clunky, sub-TV quality, frequently unintentionally funny, and it telegraphed the betrayal a mile off, so the protagonist just seemed like an idiot.
I enjoy Sarah Waters's stuff, it's just that the adaptations are so ugly. Fingersmith had pretty much the same problems. Also the rental company I got this from said it was two hours long, so the abrupt ending came as quite a shock.
