<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The thing with Simon Birch/Owen
Meany:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>that book is just huge. Irving wrote a
dense book. There's no way all that book could have been fit into a
movie. The movie itself is OK. not the best i've ever seen, but it
didn't suck. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But if you've read the book, and you know just
how much there is to that story (and how much they mucked with the
ending of the movie), you have to stick to the book. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And why did they change the name?</FONT></DIV>
