I am slacking. But I will probably be done by the end of the week :) Hopefully it is different from the movie, I didn't really like the movie, but from the way the book started it seems like it is very similar to his other books...like The Rainmaker or The Firm.
Ditto with me and the slacking, but I'm getting there too. So far, I actually think the movie is better.
I've never seen the movie, but I will. I'm still only on page 200 something ... 100 pages to go. :) It's so different than anything else I have ever intentionally read. I have a hard time keeping obscure characters straight, and I'm sure that would add greatly to the plot for me. But I know the main ones, and that's enough for me. :)
Okay, I've been done for a few days now ... long enough to have rented the movie and expounded to Camilla throughout the entire show on the differences from the book. :) She's patient with me. I think the movie is better too. Maybe just because nowadays everyone is mostly on the same page about smoking, whether they smoke or not. Gun control however...
