yes, the bits that were taken directly from the book were great
I even quite liked the alteration to the character played by Stephen Fry.

I'm not being a twatty "its not identical to the comic therefore its shit" person, I just found the film to be a shallow pile of wank compared to the storyline of the original.

is how he sends that bloke mad by melting his dolls!

but if you loved them more than people
that would hurt your brain and be a little bit Alanis
