I’ve never read the book, but I have had a stranger read it to me. Going into it, I didn’t think I’d like it, but afterwards found it to be a neat little story. I much prefer the ending of the movie than the one from the book (which is so anticlimactic).

I’m not one for mysteries, but I do like a good treasure hunt. Takes me back to my childhood, not because I went on treasure hunts anymore then than I do now (which is none at all), but because I always wanted to. It’s probably the same reason I like the Indiana Jones movies, and to some extent, National Treasure. It’s not a perfect formula, though; case in point: Sahara.

I can see why certain religious groups are making a fuss about the book and the movie. It’s because they always make a fuss about anything.
