It's a given that the majority of adaptations blow, but I'm really curious about this. Will it even translate to film as an interesting story or will it be like Rules of Attraction with a death? Also, while this book did major sales, it was no Grisham. I mean, forgive me for being snotty, but it's a smart people book, not an airplane novel (COUGH da vinci stephen king COUGH). Of course, a lot will depend on casting, director, etc. But one of the charming things about the book for me was all the literary references, and I don't see how that will be anything but pretentious if it's left in. I don't know.
Yet, despite my wariness, I'm excited. Also, in the world of adaptations, The Time Traveler's Wife starts shooting in August. I really loved that book, excellent summer read.
