Well, yeah, that is surprising for a book. But Hollywood manages to stuff a romance story into every friggin' thing they show - I swear, I do not remember the last relatively modern Hollywood production with some sort of sexual/romantic overtones. I mean, Jesus, sometimes their efforts seem like something out of The Island of Dr. Moreau, where animals are spliced together - literally, dissected and sown together, except that different parts of different animals are joined into a single live 'abortion' of a creature. That is how Hollywood rolls with their romance stories. Did Passion of the Christ have romance by any chance? If it did, the end of the world is indeed somewhere around 2012...
