If the rude words have scared you from C.U.P's play version, then they try this --- those 'problems' have been tidied up and you're left with a neat and faithful novelisation. Many of the film's best gages were purely visual of course, so they've been lost but a book gives more insight into the characters than kids could get from the movie and unsatisfactorily puzzling ambiguities are smoothed away. We're also spared the embarrassment of the film's action sequences. I don't find many film/TV tie-ins very successful with my classes but this is one of the best I've met and it's well worth trying.
