I like the book, but I think this is one of those very rare instances where
the movie is actually much better. I had to sneek in to the movie when it was
first in theaters because it had an X rating! Now, it's an American classic
that has stood the test of time beautifully. It's also one of my all-time
favorites, Bob.
