I just loved it. It's a really fantastic piece of imagination. I ended up reading the rest of the books. The coolest part about this project is that it's a very true adaptation. I've gone back recently and read most of the original novel, and I find that what John has done is retained all of the critical and important elements of the book, which are very unusual for television.
People are into spice.
This guy's having all of these visions. They're going a whole bunch of people. So it's very unusual material, but John has really retained the essence of the novel, the characters and the feel of it. Yet, for this type of project, for a television film, he has made the story much easier to follow. He has structured it in a way that you know exactly who people are.
