Disappointment

After I watched the first Movie of "Fiela se Kind" also based on a book by Dalene Matthee, a few times to take in all its goodness, I was positively primed for Toorbos. However, I was sadly disappointed. I have not read the book and found the storyline 98% predictable and boring. Although I'm Afrikaans speaking I found the dialog difficult to follow. A few things also didn't make logical sense in society and I found Johannes' character inconsistent. I wouldn't know if that is consistent with the book.
