Thanks a lot for this!
Book sounds really good. The movie There Will Be Blood was excellent.
Yep, I'm not a fan of adaptations much, but There Will Be Blood is brilliant, can't fault it. Great plot - two evils pitting it against each other (Baptist v Oil man), top acting, beautiful cinematography (something I find is missing in a lot of films nowadays - as well as a good script, I want something that will please the eye - it's a visual medium after all), and the music score is incredible and adds so much to the film.
Thanks for the upload, can't wait to read the book from where the film was inspired.
