So I wouldn’t have any idea what was happening or any clue how to pronounce any thing if I hadn’t seen the movie. I was inspired to read this after seeing the movie and discovering the character Duncan Idaho. Duncan Idaho was indeed as much of a highlight in book form as in movie form. I don’t think I’ll continue anymore of the series but now I can say I read it and get the story a little more and that Duncan Idaho is the best book character ever.
