i do not think any of what i write qualifies a a spoiler and but i do not want to get blacklist and so i check the spoiler box . watcher be my all time favorite book . when i find out they have do a blockbuster movie base on the book and i go out and rent it . about 5 minute into the movie i turn it off . then i put it back on and watch it . the only plus about any and all of these movie be the dog they use . they be very well trained animal ( i wonder how many dog they use in total . ) and they be gorgeous . the outsider in every one of the movie be lame and nothing like the book ( and i know and if they try to make it like the book say they would have to spend a lot of money and it still wouldn not be up to par to koontz imagination ) but at least make him like the 3rd movie and more reptilian look with big claw ( that do not dangle . ) . anyways and if i win the lottery i would hire a team to make a mini series ( maybe for the sci fi channel . ) base word by word on the book . the way einstein and travis meet and all of the k 9 human interaction while the way they meet nora and the entire book and how it flow compare to any of the movie be just . sad and pathetic . so and i wish i win the lottery .
