For TheSadGirl:
I was introduced to the book ( a real page-turner; loved it!!! Literally laughed out loud many times on the non-stop flight from the East Coast to Texas...) and enjoyed it immensely.
Next, I was delighted to hear outtakes from the Radio presentation of the book, shared with me by my best friend's 2 younger brothers, who had by then practically memorized every line.
The movie was alright, but nothing beats the wry humour of the book---and, of course, the radio presentation, which strove to adhere so closely to the spirit of the work.
