    Awesome! Although this is the one person I would love to make a movie about. Shame that there can't be a part II :(.

    Very much looking forward to it. I sure hope they don't go overboard with CGI and ruin it....

    I got the book for Christmas. I was a bit daunted by the size of it - it's a biiiig book! Very entertaining though and seems well researched. He was an amazing character who's lack of the 'embarrasment gene' caused him to charm and offend in equal measure.
