Apple A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government. - THOMAS JEFFERSON

I might've not seen the movie since the book I thought was good, but not great and b.) when I read a book, I usually picture in my mind how the characters would look. If I saw the movie, I probably would've been, again, disappointed. I'm glad I already had that inset when I read the book!

The casting in the movie was absolutely perfect, and as I read the book, I pictured the actors, which made it a much better read. 2. The movie was suspensful and suprising, and had I read the book first, it wouldn't have been. Having seen the movie first, it didn't ruin the book, because the book elaborated so much on what happened in the movie. Anyway, hope you enjoy the book. Michael: My father's no different than any other powerful man, any man who's responsible for other people. Like a senator or a president. Kay: You know how naive you sound? Michael: Why? Kay: Senators and presidents don't have men killed... Michael: Oh... who's being naive, Kay?

The first chapter is a mammoth read (some 72 pages if I remember rightly) but after that the chapters are nice and short. Mick ...dot com bold typeface rhetoric.

I am not a big reader, I never have been, any book I picked up, never interested me. But maybe I wasn't looking in the right spot. I personally enjoyed wilderness books, but hell, Gary Paulsen books are just for little kids to read. Anyways, some day, I'll have to pick this one up, and MAKE myself read it. Which, rest assured, I know I wont have to make myself read such a novel. "A man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man."
