True enough. Although it was like Hemingway in comparison with the movie. My 10 yr old just got through with it (I was reluctant to let her see it and made her read the book first, even that I was not sure about, but her GIRL SCOUT TROOP is going to see the next one so I relented)...she loved the book but even she thought the movie was terrible. TERRIBLE.

Sorry about the hijack. Think of it as intermission entertainment until we get the rest of the story (eagerly awaiting) from SO.
