I just saw recently that they were making it into one. I read the book years ago and LOVED it so I can't wait until it comes out. I might need to refresh myself by reading the book again. <BR/><BR/>Glad to hear that it was good in spite of the things you mentioned in your comments.MEPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15484278368390246998noreply@blogger.com
