Actually, Lauryn, I was wrong. I HAD read this one, but there are 3 I haven't: "Lock, Stock and Steele", "Lost Art of Steele (the addition)" and "The Steele Before Christmas". I have already read (and mentioned my admiration for) "Lost Art of Steele", so I am very much looking forward to the addition. My plan is to reread the original so as to reignite the mood, as it were, and then devour the addition. So, when I have some time to really savour them, I shall kick back, my favourite chocolate truffles on hand and enjoy them both in blissful succession. Laura Holt ain't the only one who's a cho- cho- chocoholic. Well, bravo to the trio of you. They were very clever and laugh-out-loud funny.

He wasn't supposed to be in the film but he mentioned during the Matador press conference when asked if there was any recent role he wanted that he didn't get, the role of Langdon. He says people kept telling him he should play the role so he read the book and decided he should but then they gave it to some former TV actor who used to wear a dress. I'm glad to have had the same brainwave as dear Pierce. Though probably the movies he's working on instead might turn out more interesting. I don't think I'll go see the film because what I liked about the book was the tremendous amount of detail on art history, symbology and theology. I don't think I'd be getting much out of the movie in that regard. LOL I don't even want to begin imagining that hair style. I am honest enough to say that I did enjoy the somewhat exaggerated characters and events (it was a change from what I usually read), but some stuff went over the top. I hated the ending, though. It was cringe-inducing. I haven't read the first one yet, but I'm planning to. I hear the ending is better (whatever that means ).
