Hearts in Atlantis with Anthony Hopkins

[pixiedark]

I thought that the book was WAY BETTER than the movie. The movie left too much out! I thought that Anthony Hopkins made a great Ted!

While I really think Anthony Hopkins is a just a great actor and played a fine role as Ted. The movie was lacking a lot, but the book was just so good.

Anthony Hopkins is a great actor but I don't think he should of played Ted thats just my opinion. The movie was 10x better then the book.

Last night I watched this movie and I think it's one of the best I've watched! I haven't read the book, I didn't even know about the existence of that book, but my mother watched the movie first and told me it was terrific, now, I think she's right. Big up to that movie!

Hi, i'm so glad to read your nice comment for the movie, I haven't seen it personally and was starting to feel a bit put off by the other posts but i will definitely give it a looksie following your post. Anthony Hopkins is an amazing actor and i can definitely picture him as Ted.

The book is a really good read so i hope you manage to read it soon. I agree that references to the DT would confuse movie fans with no prior knowledge of Uncle Steves works. It probably is best these things are excluded from the movies until somebody can create an epic masterpiece to do these stories justice.

Not the best-best movie out of SK adaptions, but I found it still to be rather good.

Ya know, I have never seen it.
I remember when it came out, I was avoiding it because I prefer to read the book first. Now that I have read the book, I will have to watch it. Netflix, here I come!

I haven't seen the movie because I am conflicted. Yes, I do see Anthony H as Ted. My conflict is that I didn't particularly like the book. Please don't hang me. Everyone has a piece by their favorite author that just doesn't do it for them. Heart in Atlantis was it. I have some friends who like the book, but loved the movie even better. Go figure. It may be acutally worth a watch after all.

I am just now reading the short story "Low Men in Yellow Coats" and I'm hearing about all these other books and stories that coincide with this story as well as the Dark Tower and I also hear about Ted showing up in other novels..

so what book should I read next in order to not get lost?
