Actually the book is very good, though it's more about self discovery than fishing. I've found some of DJD's other writings about his search for a personal spirituality to be brilliantly written and extremely thought provoking, even if he and I have come to different conclusions.

And I'm another one who watched to movie and thought it was horrible. It was bad enough that Duncan himself disavowed the movie completely and would not attend its premier or have anything to do with the film adaptation of his wonderful book.
