Moderator LT_Oneal_PAC Posted October 30, 2014 Moderator Share Posted October 30, 2014 I thought the movie was terrible. Book, of course, was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmdpac Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I have not seen the movie. Sounds like I'm not missing much as is so often the case with movies made from good books. I do agree that the book was time well spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
