Agides wrote:The Time Travellers Wife - Audrey Niffenegger
One of the most beautifully written books I have read in a very long time.
It took a few chapters to get into, but once I got the hang of it, I couldn't put it down.
I have heard that the film rights were bought by Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston (*shudders at the very thought of a film version*) before the book was published. I'm very nervous at how this will translate on the big screen.

Currently still reading Moab Is My Washpot by Stephen Fry and re-reading Things Snowball by Rich Hall.

Excellent, I've read End of the Affair by Greene. Good book and even a good film.

I read that book. Really enjoyed it. I think it would be interesting to see if they could make it work on the big screen. But, I tend to think it would not be good!

I couldn't have put that better myself!!!!!:DCatNamedRudy wrote:Have you read Angels and Demons Agides?
Yes, I have - also 'Deception Point' and 'Digital Fortress.'
Stupidly, I read DVC before A&D because I wanted to know what all the fuss was about (Robert Langdon first appears in A&D).
I really enjoyed all four books, as they are quite thought-provoking, but I should imagine that experts in the subjects covered in each would have a field day picking apart inaccuracies!! I know that none of them are particularly well written and won't win any great literary prizes, but you can't help thinking 'what if?' at the end of every one!!
Have you read anything else by Dan Brown, Cat?
