i recently rent this promising mini series and i do not even know they have adapt it for television . i be really look forward to it since the book icon be one of the best spy thriller i have ever read . what a disappointment it be . the plot only loosely resemble the one in the book and the character be completely miscast and there some appalling act . a shame really . the story behind icon be perfect for the silver screen and but i think television budget just aren not big enough for a decent adaptation of this spectacular book . forsyth deserves much and much good than this . avoid and stick to the book and which be a must read .
