Haven't seen the movie but most books are better than their movie counterparts.

I Am Legend is a testament to that fact. I'll check it out.

This isn't a book but its too creative and brilliant to just be called a simple comic book.

I saw the movie after I'd read the book, I was really hyped for it. But I was utterly disappointed. The book is amazing, it has a pace and tone that just didn't come through well on screen. I feel that the hollywood machine kind of destroyed it.

Allen Roy Evans - The Aleutian Story
I'm not that far into it only on page 40 or so. It is about the Aleuts and their lives and how they got destroyed just for living at such an important geopolitical location.

I think I've read the first novel about 4 times and the second a few times aswell, but I recently bought Children of Dune and God emperor of Dune. Children was really good, and so far Emperor hasn't let me down. And there is still 2 books left written by Herbert in the series, can't wait

Reading perhaps the best debut novel I have ever had the pleasure to digest.

Just finished this. Hard to say much about it without giving things away. I can say it's worth the read.
