I can't believe they've adapted Tim Powers' On Stranger Tides, one of the best pirate books.. Jacob Send a noteboard - 14/12/2010 02:54:19 PM
There are a lot of changes, of course, but the basic story elements remain. When I had heard that Powers had sold the rights to his great fantasy story to Disney, I didn't ever really believe that it'd be a 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movie.

The book is amazing, and I highly recommend it to anyone who can find it.

This one is actually adapted from a great novel that was nominated for the World Fantasy award. Jacob - 14/12/2010 02:56:28 PM 658 Views

I hope that the movie doesn't vastly underclass the book then LadyLorraine - 14/12/2010 03:53:16 PM 553 Views
