Slap me dead, I have never read the books, but I have seen the movies.
Also, I have ordered TWO copies of the new book (one for the boys, and one for my hubby) because by the time my oldest reads the book the youngest is clamoring for it and the hubby is screaming for the oldest to get done reading it, too, so HE can read it, so HOPEFULLY this will settle things a bit...
Will I read this one?
I don't know...I'm reading "Centennial" right now...I love that one!
