You can borrow my copy. I just read it a few months ago and it's still FRESH in my mind.

I thought the trailer was great and it has a fantastic cast. Granted, I haven't read the book. I'll definitely see the movie.

Then I will bet you will love the movie.

I read the book, so I bet I will not think the movie is so great! That IS how it always works.

We watched the movie last night. It was very strange. It's been awhile since I read the book, so I obviously didn't remember every detail. Seeing it on screen, rather than just reading about it, did make some of the ridiculous situations seem a bit more believable, but I was still like this -----> when it was over. Just very strange.

I started the book a long time ago, but I wasn't in "book mode" so I didn't get very far.

We picked up the movie yesterday. Kyle has no interest in watching it...

The movie, in my opinion, was mediocre. Very uneven and annoying. I was disappointed.

The Royal Tenenbaums covered similar ground with much more success, though it doesn't have the true-story element.
