Yes, although now that you've seen the movie you'll never be able to imagine the book without seeing the characters the way they were portrayed in the movie. That's why I allways try to read the book first.

That definitely is the funniest book I've ever read. I laughed like a maniac all throughout. And I'm sorry to say this, but it pissed me off what they did to Jenny in the movie. I don't get it, really.

What's your favourite part from the book, boutte? Mine is the whole saga with the ape, space travel and Raquel Welch. I literally laughed myself to tears.
