Not my sort of movie, Mathew. At least from what I've read of the story line. I'm not Kevin Spacey's biggest fan, though I did like him in K-PAX. Have you seen that one?Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547065615486762917.post-17624200715207780172016-12-04T08:16:52.508-05:002016-12-04T08:16:52.508-05:00You'll enjoy the book, Tracy.

I have seen the movie and enjoyed it. It has been long enough it would be a new experience to read the book. And I had forgotten that John Cusack was in the movie. I really like his acting. I just recently watched him in Grosse Pointe Blank and I like him a lot in that.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547065615486762917.post-5277679690283471172016-12-02T10:22:32.874-05:002016-12-02T10:22:32.874-05:00Yvette, ever seen American Beauty, with Spacey and...Yvette, ever seen <b><i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Beauty_(1999_film)" rel="nofollow">American Beauty</a></i></b>, with Spacey and Annette Bening?

(I seem to be saying that a lot these days.) I do know I liked Kevin Spacey in it. He was less than his usual over-bearing and obnoxious persona. It's fun to imagine how the movie would have turned out if Julie Taymor had directed and produced. Just wondering. I've never read the book, but I think I will. I'm adding it to my TBR list immediately. Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.com
