I think that could definitely be done, but you know they would most likely change a lot of the elements of the book

here's the bigger question: Who would play the narrator?

I keep thinking Don Cheadle for some reason.

I could definitely see Don Cheadle. But so much would have to be cut for the sake of time that I'm not sure I'd want to see it done.

hmmm, maybe they could do a mini-series on television then?

actually when we were reading this book, i was thinking about this and the whole time i was picturing Denzel Washington...

I think it could be successfully adapted...I think it would fit better as a movie though than a TV series.
