It was one of those books that I read when I was younger, and then when I tried to find it later in life, I had a devil of a time trying to find out the name. And then... I saw the movie. I HATED it. Oh my god, did they feel a need to put in magic just because it was an animated movie for god's sake??!?!?! ( I'm talking about the "magic amulet" thing, whatever it was called...) And on the subject of movies that were ( dissappointingly / upsettingly ) different from the book: How about "The Postman"? The book was by David Brin, and I probably would have called it my favorite book for a while. The movie was so different, that I could not recognize ANYTHING. <sigh> And Kevin Costner is just about the worst actor in the whole world anyway... All he does is change his clothes. No accent, no intonation, no emotion, nothing. Hmmm. I guess I feel strongly about this type of thing. Books are my passion. -Andy Lynch
