Its a great book by a celebrated author, that includes all kinds of little details missing from a hugely popular movie. It would be FAR from lame to anyone who really liked the movie. Last edited by Easy 6; 05-26-2007 at 08:50 PM.. |

One of my all time favorite movies.
I guess I should read the book but I mostly just read fantasy... |

Yeah, that bunch of folks who appreciate nuance and internal monologue leading to deeper character development.... How dare they suggest someone might find a richer experience in reading a book as opposed to having someone producers impression of a literary work spoon-fed to them. How dare they! Quote:

I read the book and thought is was pretty good. The guy has written some other books that im told are better. Nothing beats the movie though. Great movie top 5 all-time.

If I want to read the book, I will. I own both. But the movie is easier |

I was primarily remarking on the (IMO) foolish attitude of being pissed off simply because someone else might suggest the book could offer a deeper experience than the film.

The book is always better than the movie. Always.
