Did you see the movie? What did you think about it? Was it good? I am asking because when I really really like a book I never go to see the movie, no matter which actors are in it, or how much they advertise it as the best movie ever.
I have learned the hard way that they will never be able to make a movie as good as the book that I liked and they will never be able to live to my expectations as much too often they change the story and/or the characters to make them more attractive to the silver screen. From what I've heard the only exception was the Lord of the rings, but I really don't know as i never read that.

Uri, the book is a lot better than the movie. However, it is nice to see some scenes captured on the screen.

I expected as much lol. I only would see the movie because Tom Hanks is one of my favorite actors, but as I said before I don't break this rule I have no matter who's in the movie. Glad to hear you kinda enjoyed it though.

Url, yes, I liked this book. I still do. :)
