Apt Pupil

[Er0tic NeUr0t1c]

Hi Char, If you like this story, you will love the Dark Tower series.

but this story has absolutely nothing to do with the Dark Tower. This story is realistic as opposed to supernatural. i just think that was a bad reference to another sk book. sorry to be a dick.

I am happy to hear that the movie is no indication of the story's quality, as I felt there was definitely something missing from the film.

Have always wondered why the ends of movies are so vastly different from how the book ends - the way the movie Apt Pupil ended really annoyed me enormously - the book had a very approrpriate and excellent ending - a perfect climax to the story and the movie ending just feels so watered down, so "let's play it safe" - the book was so much more horrifying in its ramifications and the changed ending to the movie really impacted the story in a very negative way - why does Stephen allow changes like this to be made to his stories when they are transferred to movies? It's like the last Hannibal book/movie - the book's ending was fabulous but they rewrote the ending for the movie and it was disastrous - I will never watch the movie again. Have never figured out why screenwriters think they know better than the original authors - just leave things alone.........please......The movie Apt Pupil was a real let down because of the ending, it was like getting robbed......it quite put me off wanting to watch it again but the book, would not hesitate to reread it.

I liked the book real well. Found myself not wanting to put the book down. But with the movie was a bit disappointed. It was ok but really would pick the book over the movie.
