I loved both books, didn't really care for the movie though it was okay as a
tale of it's own!
The only parts about the movie that I thought somewhat decent, were the
dialogues between Nicholas Cage and his twin brother.
Some really good food for thought.

I guess I am one of the few, who really enjoyed the book, the Orchid
Thief, and was highly disappointed in the movie -- other than for Chris
Cooper's role -- because the plot was undeveloped and did not follow the
book. Perhaps, I am misinterpreting the movie; however, I would say
that the producer appeared to have a disdain for both orchids and orchid
people.

Incidentally, I also enjoyed Orchid Fever by Eric Hansen.

Hi all! Is there anyone out there who, like me, did not like Susan
Orleans'
book The Orchid Thief? I disliked it so much that I didn't bother
finishing
it. I thought Eric Hansen's book Orchid Fever was much better.

Just curious.
