I enjoyed both, and the most memorable part of both was Part 1, pre-war country estate up to when Robbie gets arrested. That seemed to take up a bigger proportion of the book ... the trials of juvenile Bryony, the long hot summers day. But still it was brilliantly done in the film. So too was the Dunkirk beach scene, I don't remember much about that at all in the book.
