Yes. Book is much better than the movie. Sorry for going off topic here but just wanted to say there have been a few examples where the movie did justice to the book. One is the Chamber staring Gene Hackman. But these are few and far between. Actually a good topic for debate would be how war movies compared to the book:twocents: One good one for me was Where Eagles Dare.

Fatherland the movie was rehashed at the end, completely nothing like the book. The ending in the book would have been so much more visual if it had been incorporated into the movie. So much was lost in the movie, same with enigma. Sunflower
