This film will be out soon. I love the book and i hope they do it justice. All the parts are related in a way. It's an epic book. Check out the trailer and photos:

Like the look of this, thanks for the tip off. 8)

One of my top 5 films is Crash, similar in how everything is related and really gets you thinking!!

Was given the book last night by a big fan. Reckons if it's handled right the film will be great.

The book is great. Worth seeing through to the end. Love the 'Sonmi' section.

Book's a good read when you get into it. Could do without the 3/4 page rant by one of the characters towards then end that sets out all the key concepts in slightly plonking style. Film could be interesting.

Just finished reading this. Got it out the library on the strength of the trailer. I liked it, especially the Somni and Timothy Cavandish sections. Looking forward to the film.
