They are two very different animals, and may only peripherally resemble each other.But your book is still there on the shelf and available, and if the film leads people to the book, it's a win.<BR/><BR/>Erika, I hope you enjoy The Terror.

But I also watch a film most nights, so I'm kind of a movie fan too. I know they'll have to make many changes/cuts if they do succeed in making this a film, but right now I feel fine with that. My book is my book; the film will be a cousin to it and might end up looking very different, but that's okay by me.
