Read the book last week. Need to review it for the column, but it won't fit in this week.
In the meantime, more news stories come out about the movie adaptation:

It's beginning to sound less and less like the book. I can deal with minor name (remember ROAD TO PERDITION?) and location changes. I know they'd have to add more stuff in to flesh it out to a two hour movie. And I won't complain about Maria Bello doing sex scenes, on general principle, but that's not in the book at all.
I'll wait till I see the movie, though, before I pan it. I'm just slightly concerned, since all the critics love the movie, and its director has already dismissed the comic book in interviews. UGH
