Worst adaptation of a book in recent memory

Rating: 1/10 (29 January 2007)

Has anyone read the excellent book? This movie was a mess from start to finish. I cannot believe the number of glowing comments and reviews. Actually I do remember a recent film that was just as bad - the remake of that classic film The Haunting - another utter disaster. I hope some of the people who saw the film will read the book and realize what a mess it truly was. How could the author approve this screenplay? Spoilers:
In the book: Julian is pregnant Men are infertile, not women Theo lives and gains power Mass "suicides" are forced upon the elderly Jasper commits suicide There is strong underlying religious content and Christian symbolism Etc. etc. etc.
