sperry Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Anyone read it? Had never heard of it until I saw commercials for the upcoming film, but the plot is intriguing at least. Tom Hanks adaptations aren't exactly known for coming from literary classics, but was wondering if anyone had read this and could recommend yay or nay.

A True Kaniggit Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 This was a book? I've seen previews of it in theaters, but I had no idea it was based on a novel. And why do you only mention Tom Hanks? No love for Emma Watson or John Boyega( Finn from SWE VII TFA) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Richard II Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 It was a huge giant super successful best seller, yes. And uh, I don't thin he was expressing LOVE for Tom Hanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperry Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 Yeah, I was mostly poking fun at the fact that Tom Hanks has adapted some truly terrible novels into films. The movie looks interesting, and I'm going to check it out when it releases. I generally trust the opinions of the regulars on this forum, so wanted to see if anyone had read the novel.

aceluby Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Just read the book and enjoyed it. Plot is around a company that's an evil'ish google and the culture these giant tech companies push. I'm intrigued as to how this will translate to the big screen or if they change the overall tone. It's a pretty bleak story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennistar Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 The cast of the film looks interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
