As per wiki…
"A satire of commercial culture, it is the story of Tender Branson, a member of the Creedish Church, a death cult. The chapters and pages are numbered backwards in the book, beginning with Chapter 47 on page 289 and ending with page 1 of Chapter 1."
Apparently the film rights for this book were sold, but no studio would make the film… mostly due to the plan hijacking throughout the novel. However, rumour is that director Francis Lawrence (director of the 2007 film I Am Legend) has shown interest in adapting it. Fingers crossed.
I usually write a bit about how I'm feeling… but this book managed to write that for me. So instead, I'll just leave it at that - quotes from the book that made me think/feel something bigger than myself.
