I am anxious to see the movie and hope to do so tomorrow afternoon. My father, an avid O'Brien fan - saw the flick and said it was a very good movie. He said it was not much like the books, but he didn;t expect that. It captured some of the 'backdrop' and a composite of the stories. Sounds about like I'd expect.

BECKY - We did have some conversation on this subject already, albeit in an obscurly titled thread! POB's Desolation Island.
