You'd be better off to get the audio version off usenet IMHO. I always like listening to books better than reading them off a comp screen. It's gotta be print or audio for me.
Unless it's computer related, of course. Audio video card reviews would be rather interesting

You could just buy the book, I am sure you could get it for less than 10 dollars.
The movie looks pretty good, I hope they don't screw it up.

Guy, the movie looks awful. I'm just waiting for a supercharged Supra to blast through the woods to complete the all ready type-cast Walker.

Well you may be biased against Walker but I am going to wait an see how he does. Often you never know what an actor can do until they are cast against type.
As for the film, the previews look pretty good, the battles seem relativly in line with what was in the book. As long as they don't gloss over the science too much it atleast has the potential to be entertaining. Keep in mind that it is from the director of Lethal Weapon, which most people would agree was a great action film (atleast the first one).

Action, yes.
The science part? I don't think Walker could handle it. I don't mind him as an actor (liked him in Pleasantville). I just don't think technical roles are his to play. We'll see.

I'm going to have to agree with Jason on this one... Walker isnt the best of actors, no matter what you cast him against....

Seriously, since i havent read the book or seen the movie I couldnt say, but From waht I've seen in the trailers, Walker sucks ass.

Granted, I guess he could easily play the part of the bloke with the blank stare while all the technical jargon is explained.
