I hope they don't screw this up. but they probably will...
Man i love the bok, ive got a first edition from 1987? when it came out. I've read it many times. it is truley an excellent novel. But hollywood dopesn't do DeMille well on screen... Exibit "A" "the general's daughter"+, man
they *beep* that one up big time...Travlota, and the script blew.. .... They should have gotten Bruce Willis, and stuck closer to the
novel...
Well heres hoping they follow the book. And don't
cut out DeMille's great dialog....

It is a Fantastic book. i've read it at least 7 times, and will read it again. Nelson DeMille is a Great writer. I highly recomend "word of Honor" , "Plum island", and :The General's Daughter". all excellent reads. as I wrote, great dialog, and stories. the film of General's daughter " blew. they cut out many characters , and added the gunfight. don't get me wrong, i love a good funfight, "Die Hard" is my favorite Chrismas movie, followed by "Leathal Weapon", and "it's a wonderful life". but Demille is hard to put on film w.o cutting alot, unfortunatley they seem to cut the best parts.
watch the film and read the book, i bet you'll like the boook more....

I can't wait to see this movie - I hope it comes out in the UK! I read the book in two days while on holiday - I found myself completely hooked. Fingers crossed the movie is as good!
