"Mormon" is just one letter away from "moron".
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

He likes the word "exceedingly" and a few others. I like that Smithy threw them in now and then to make himself sound intelligent. Reminds me of Vizzini.

Well, the play has to be better, if only because it cuts to the important bits rather than making you read all the tedious stuff.

No idea... all I know is that the story was brought to us by a guy called Moron I, and that's enough to discourage me from watching... seriously, the story of pre christian Jews in America makes me want to puke just at the concept, and the style of writing of the book is horrible.

So I'll pass on any plays, movies or other adaptations.
