Any resemblance between the Stephen King book and the incredibly dull and confusing commercial fest aired by A&E last night is purely coincidental. The writers, producers etc. took one of Stephen Kings best works and butchered it beyond all recognition. From the beginning to the end of the first part things were changed for no discernible reason. I understand that not every line and situation can be the same but come on, it's Stephen King. What made the writers think that they could do better? The characters were aged by about 10 years and were played ineffectually at best. Key pieces of the story were left out or inexplicably changed and not for the better. The relationship between Mike Noonan and Jo was glossed over and that is a key element. Bag of Bones is a great story. All they had to do was tell it and sadly they missed the mark. I recommend that you read the book and skip this boring hatchet job of a mini series all together.
