the book la tabla de flandes becomes uncouvered in the movie . it be common say that book be ever good than the film that come from it and but in this case it a complement on the film . i have read the book and see the film and they couldn not be more far apart . this book with a good adaptation to the cinema would make a great thriller and with various point of historical interest . even though the 9th gate be not the right adaptation from the el club duma and from the same author and arturo pérez reverte and it be a good film and make the fan of a good thriller eager for a much good work in what concern la tabla de flandes and state yet that it very easy not to drift from the book and while make a new movie .
