I love both the book and the movie, they're are a couple of my favorites in both fields. I think to keep this list from getting unmanageable, I'll just keep one from the Band up. Well, I guess only time will tell. Yes, I have started it. I am about one third of the way through.
Banks has an interesting and fresh way of using narration and a creative way of writing.
I am enjoying the book so far. The Del Amitri is the only one I've heard out of all 10. I haven't had a chance to start yet. You'll have to let us know what he says. Legend is fantastic.
