Jackdaws by Ken Follett

This sounds very close to a Ken Follett book (Key to Rebecca) called The Jackdaws and the point of it was that they were women in the roles. It was ok, but maybe it would have worked better if they had used women instead of men dressing up. However, Eddie can still be in it because he's Eddie.

Jackdaws is a good book. Read it last year. There are some similarities, but very few.

ATQM could've been a better movie (I just rewatched it the other day; yes, I own a copy) if the pace was slowed down a bit, a little more character development and the comedy aspect played down.
