These first reviews seem to (and likely are to) be coming from 
people who work in movie theaters where they run test 
screenings and whatnot. So it's probably not likely that they knew 
they were going to see the movie -- just happened on it. It seems 
the movie's finally being distributed, and these lucky people are 
the right ushers in the right place at the right time... So that is 
probably why they hadn't read it before - they didn't know they'd 
be seeing it so quickly.

even after posting the review, I'm not 100% on its credibility - but 
it does go nicely with the one Dark Horizons posted later on. 
Anyway, if Home Theater was a personal site,I'd never believe 
the review was real. But it does seem to be focused on movies 
and previews, so I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt that 
it's not a fake review.

In any event, a friend of mine who is a film lover first and a book 
lover second is waiting until Nov 17th to read the book. I 
understand her reasons, even if I could recite every piece of 
dialog in HPSS by now... And I'm excited to hear her reactions as 
opposed to mine.
