I've never seen the series, but am going to rent it probably next weekend. I saw a clip on YouTube and was already annoyed that it was COMPLETELY different than the book...different characters, characters doing different things...

But I'll give it a chance, you can't really tell a whole lot from a 2 minute YouTube clip.

Really? Huh. I've always loved the series, especially the character "Fiddler," played by Louis Gossett, Jr.

I guess I really will have to read the book and see for myself.

I am looking forward to seeing it, I need to just open my mind and realize it's not going to be exactly like the book.

The scene I saw on YouTube had fiddler in it, complaining to the Massa about the whipping of Toby or something...it was odd. Though fiddler was in the book, he was never in it in that context...

Either way it was a great read...and I've heard great things about the series...

I just finished Joan Didion's "The Year Of Magical Thinking"--
just an amazing mediatiation and report on grieving and relationships.

I am just starting her collection of non-fiction, "We tell Ourselves Stories In order to Live"
