Portions of it stray from the books for sure and in some ways I'm not particularly fond of, but it's still pretty damn good and WAY better than most of the garbage that comes out of HollyWEIRD these days. It also has very good numbers as far as viewers which pisses off the libs and makes watching it even more worth it. Hell, even if I didn't like it I'd put it on and do something else if I knew the ratings were getting the libs panties all wadded up.I guess I will have to break down and give this a look.
I am not a fan of Hollywood taking a great book and then changing it.
Not having read this book, it won't matter.
The Hunt for Red October followed the story very close.
