    So if I understand it correctly this series will feature long moments of silence and people in jumpsuits running through corridors, intercut by commercials? :D

    Oh, the novel was good. It's the movie that was oh so very bad.

    I actually rather like the movie, it is very dated however. I also just re-read the book about 2 months ago, I happend across a copy at GoodWill while i was down south, and picked it up. I'd forgotten that in the Book, Levine was a man...
