I went into the local book shop and asked the assistant "I'm looking for a book called 'How To Handle Disappointment Without Killing'. Do you have it?"

You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

No, ive not read any of hers before. I fancied a change.
I like the movie, probably the only film ive seen where Jude Law is watchable without thinking how the fuck do he get that part.
The other ripley film is okay too - both have issues of identity, guilt, alienation, that sort of thing, so i thought i would give her a try.
That's all i will expound for now.

fair comment.  :thumbup:

i loathed the book.  i had absolutely no syympathy for the mian character, and wanted him to die from about page three, emo whingeing little knob.  ::)  the only reason i finished it was cos it was on one of my reading lists for the M.A.
