oh really, awesome! :) you better tell us what you think of it :) i remember the film being good (years ago i saw it and would like to watch again) if you want to have a film discussion on it id happily re watch :)

The book was awesome. There were some characters in the book that were not in the movie. Glad I finally read it after seeing the movie so many times

Yes, I have except for The Firm where they completely changed the ending. I think Grisham became a consultant on the books made into films after that.
