The movie, The Commitments has a special place in Jormis' life; and after many rewatches he decided to read Roddy Doyle's book. While he still likes the movie better, the book "is a fast-paced, dialogue-filled novel which consists of a lot of ONOMATOPOETIC depictions of BEATS and RIFFS and VOCALS." (Cannonball Read 13)
