I did not read the book. Instead I listened to the book … 5 CDs worth. Since my eyes are getting older, I would rather listen to a book than read it. The narration of the reader did an excellent of attempting to change his voice for the different characters.
Although I am not an avid fan of the story plot that is being portrayed, but I do try to keep an open mind on things that impact the world.
I will go see the movie when I find the time. I am surprised on Vitalmyle’s comment that Tom Hanks did such a poor job in the movie. But then Tom must follow the Director’s instructions. Ron Howard is no slouch on directing movies.
If the movie is as bad as Vitalmyles says it is, then maybe that is what it is suppose to be. It just wasn’t supposed to be a successful movie. I also believe in a higher “Source”. I also do not believe in faith bashing. The movie attacked more than one institution. I will go and watch it in order to protect my belief system.
Now on the other hand … give me a good exorcist movie and I will be on the edge of my chair for the complete viewing.
