Koontz, the Orange County author who has written numerous bestsellers, said he understands that filmmakers have every right to do what they please with a book that they buy. Leonard was also director of “The Lawnmower Man” but was not part of King’s dispute over that film. “In the preview screenings we had,” Leonard added, “the majority of people who had read the book thought that the movie was fairly faithful to the book.” Certain characters were changed, but all the main characters in the book are in the movie. “It’s not a mirror image (of the novel),” Leonard said, “but it definitely is an adaptation that follows the main plot of the novel.

She was loyal to her best friend Tasha that made her more hesitant to pursue Beck but thankfully she didn't push away too much. She wasn't immature but made decision like a younger woman would. Lia is the typical young woman lusting after the older man. Once he decided on her, there was no other decision for him. I was glad to see he didn't push Lia away like you normally see in this type of story. I do wish he was a bit more dominant just because that's my personal tastes. I just have a thing for the older, more sophisticated man and Beck was pretty delicious. The older man/younger woman trope is my favorite bit of taboo. I loved how much more in depth into the relationship she gave us, not only between Beck and Lia, but also the other characters in the story. This was much longer than what we usually see from this author. Penny Wylder promised us a full length novella and she delivered. 7/6/2023 0 Comments Er nurses james pattersonIt comes in waves, and lately we've had a lot.
