Well, Papatola leans leftward in most of his critiques, so we'll chalk this one up to liberal hauteur. He does nail the underwhelming attributes of the book and movie, though.
I found the book to be an enjoyable, if somewhat predictable, read. Will have to get back to you regarding my opinion of the movie. Haven't seen it yet, but I will most likely do so this weekend. There are very few movies that are better than the books on which they are based, IMHO, so I go in with properly adjusted expectations.
