I never ever saw the point of what happened to poor old Halloran ya know :S it's like, come on, he has some spine in the novel! The film just distances itself away from the framework of the book too much to be considered an honest adaptation i think, that is why i consider them two different interpretations of one tale :b

I think the series began to get a little drawn out when the whole thing about took over, i just found it getting increasingly boring. Of course that's just a little whine, the series is fantastic

Oh i have read the novel several times, it's one of my favourites and there is a massive difference between the two in terms of plot, character, atmosphere and such and some really great scenes are left out, such as the bee hive, the hedges etc. I like the film for what it is, just something created and based upon King's tale. I don't think Kubrick's the kinda guy to just stick with the script anyway It doesn't do the psychological depths of the novel justice though i definitely agree.

I just remember i always happily found a corner on the sofa or in my den under my bed () and sitting reading for hours on end, whether it be an Enid Blyton or anything i could get my hands on, i've always loved finding that sanctuary which only reading can get you to

I had chicken joints, mash potato, gravy and stuffing

The book is really good yes i think the film adaptation was a little dodgy really.

Aww examness. I'm sure you'll be fine ^^ very stressful though grr. It was pretty confusing to say the least, once i'd kinda come to my senses survival mode kicked in and i was like *fret*
I hope your taking care! -
The Shining, brilliant adaptation, definitely not a mirror to the novel, it's more of a different take on the story, which is brilliantly executed by Kubrick. Die Hard i have heard is much better than the book. Another King, Misery i think is a fantastic adaptation. I also agree with Lord of the Rings, who'd have ever thought you could make such a great movie which so wonderfully reflected the epicness of the series?

That's what i love about his books, he takes a subject which a lot of people wil have very basic knowledge about and he weaves facts and interesting information into a twisting plot and for me, anyway, leaves me fairly content and entertained.

They are quite 'easy' to read and flow well imo, which means Brown does things right in that respect
-
That doesn't make sense to me either reading the last chapter :S I usually try the introduction and then one around the middle area.

Good quote I actually really like this book, it's his most well written and delivered i think. Much better than The Da Vinci Code as i've probably said before. I love all of the twists and turns and the bit where they head underground is really well done too.

I enjoyed the climax of that section with
