Hopefully never to be done, 30 July 2008
Author: adiradathel from Europe

This is one of the few books I hope I will never see on the big screen. The vast pastiche opened before our eyes cannot be rendered adequately within two or even three hours. Any movie adaptation will only result in brutal butchering of one of the most beautiful books about moving images ever conceived. Go READ. Don't wait for the film.

Anybody who compares this to Dan Brown's drivel, by the way, doesn't obviously know what he is talking / writing about. First, Roszak gets his facts right (hello Dan), second Roszak has written a highly original novel and not just used material published before (HELLO DAN) and third Roszak knows how to write engaging prose and gripping dialogue (HELLLLOOOO DAN). In short, Roszak's novel is on par with Umberto Eco's Pendulum and Name of the Rose, while Dan Brown is barking up a tree.

With a sore throat.
