okay....when the news article came thru about the author of Lucy's Monster, Rebecca Royle, and her wish that Sean Bean portray Anthony Denharden in a film adaptation - I was curious so I went to the indie publishing website, looked it over a bit and ordered a copy
it arrived today and I'd quite forgotten that I'd ordered it
decided to give it a go this evening and was drawn in despite of myself - I'm not of a fan of the writer's style but the story is compelling enough to drag me in anyway :-|
I don't wish to spoil it for anyone who is intending to read it - but allow me to say that *IF* this does get to be a film - if they don't cast Sean as Anthony I WILL boycott it :-P
as I was reading it - I could SEE Sean in that role - it is a heartwrenching, unflinching portrait of a man who had it all and thru no fault of his own fell from grace and nearly died in the process, nearly lost his soul in the ordeal...damn - I really hope the author manages a film deal with some 'clout' in regards to casting or at least a good rapport with the producers/director in the area of casting
