Yes, I'll be going to see it but I always have mixed feelings about seeing the film of books that I've enjoyed. They rarely do them justice.

Good examples the other year when Captain Corelli's Mandolin came out. I thought that book was amazing but then slimy Nicholas Cage and long-necked Cruz completely ruined it for me.

Books are so personal, you can imagine your own hero (even if the description doesn't totally match), and you see everything through your own imagination but with a film you are seeing the Director's interpretation and it's never quite the same.

Having said that, I'll definitely see it.
