As huge a fan of the novels as I've been, I must agree. I do not, however, think it was nauseatingly disappointing. Mr. Harris' technique was really showing, and he seems to have reached the point of going back to the same literary trough one too many times.
With De Laurentiis seeding said trough. It's hardly a coincidence that the release of the book and the release of the movie are scheduled within the same six month period.
