To: MrB
Thanks for posting. I pulled my copy of AS to read again, mainly to see how close the screenplay was to the novel.

Having viewed the movie at least five times, IMHO it has stayed truer to the novel than any adaptation of a novel I've ever seen.

On Election Day, I'm taking the day off. First, to vote; second to see Atlas Shrugged, Part II.
