Title: Great Book - Below Average Movie
Review: This is one of my favorite books of all time. I recorded the movie from HBO and watched it and immediately saw some huge issues. The first was the casting. Several of the actors were many years older than they were in the book. The main actor that played Jake was 40+. It simply didn't work. It's odd that they didn't use younger actors because they followed much of the storyline, and even the dialog, closely.If you are a fan of the book you may want to watch this movie, but don't go out of your way. I still think this is a great story and would like to see someone make a new movie from this book.
