Movie vs. Book


It's good. It's really, really good. I'm at 25% on my Kindle and it's worth going on.
What it really deceptive about all the movie trailers and posters is that they seem to focus on the futuristic bits of the book, so I thought it was totally a sic-fi story, but I don't think the book it that way at all. I'm only up to the 1970's story, so I've still got all the future stuff ahead of me.
What is disappointing is that the movie has been officially been called a flop. This opening weekend it only made $10.3 million!
What a bummer. Sometimes being a complicated book, and advertising a movie as such, will damn a movie. I'll see the movie eventually, but I'm one of those silly people who HAVE to read a book before I even think of seeing the movie.
