I've always loved the movie, so I wanted to go back and read the book. I actually remember when the first serial novel came out. I was working at a grocery store and thought it strange and just a money grab to release the book in this way (still might have been, never really know). But I will say that I am enjoying the format now that I am actually reading the serial novel. Book one sets the scene perfectly. Very much like you would expect episode one of a mini-series TV show to do. You get all the background information, characters are developed, and just enough of the over-arching story to get you hooked. TV could learn a few things from this book, honestly.
