[Winnie Thornton · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've already read the book and seen the movie (and love them both), and now I have read and loved the screenplay. Wallace has deftly navigated his way through a long and complex battle saga, focusing on a few choice characters and events, and creating a script that leaves out "the details of some" in a way that tells "the story of all."

Unbelievable.
