Holidays are over! Happy New Year!

I didn't get much to read over the holidays, but I finished The Black Company by Glen Cook. The story was interesting but the way it is written made it hard for me to read. Still, going to continue with the trilogy and see if second book is any better in that regard.

Currently reading Dead Beat by Jim Butcher. Loving the book. The series just keeps getting better and better.

What about you? What have you been reading or listening?

Listening to Without Remorse by Tom Clancy at the moment.

God did they murder the film.

That was my favorite book of the Ryanverse. Movie was horrible. Had high hopes for it.

I read the synapse of the film and it was like, there is no way they can do the book justice and oh boy.

Cardinal of the Kremlin is my favourite and I hope they never make a film of it because they will butcher it so badly.

I don’t think it was the case in this one, but I think it was The Bourne Identity that they told the screenwriter to NOT read the book. I think they let him see the cover synopsis and that was it.

My thoughts are a 2-300 page book can be a movie. A 500+ page needs to be a mini series or series.
