Book versus film?

creative_genius @creative_genius (992) 15 Apr 08

I read the book first and the film didn't do it justice in my opinion. I am a big fan of Tom Hanks but the characters that my imagination created were a lot more real than what I saw onscreen. I loved the journey of deciphering...
