My son has been reading LOTR and had to take a break and watch the films again to remind himself why he likes the story so much. 'Jeez, mom, they were crossing ANOTHER stream, I just couldn't stick with it.'
In The Princess Bride Goldman has to abridge the 'original' book and just do the 'good parts version.'
Does that mean we are too dumbed down to read any more? I don't think so.
