Title: It's all about the book
Review: A Civil Action was a great book. I had to read it for a class, and I finished it in three days because I couldn't stop reading it! This book explores not only the typical witnesses in a case, but really focuses in on the lawyers. That gives it a most interesting twist. This book made me happy, solemn, extremely angry. And though you know who you're supposed to be rooting for, the fact that it covers so many angles makes you wonder exactly who the "good guys" are.I was disappointed in the movie. I had looked forward to watching it, but should have realized the things I loved about the book--diving into the minutia of the case--wouldn't have made a compelling movie. A lot of the detail was cut out by necessity. Also, I felt that John Travolta was miscast as Jan.In any case, I highly recommend the book.
