I got the first book a year ago and enjoyed the swashbuckling aspects of the novel, though I did think it read a bit like a precise for a film rather than a work unto itself. There seemed to be some sort of vital spark missing from it. (I tend to want to like Perez Reverte's books more than I actually do.) But as a film, I can't wait to see it. Especially with Viggo in the lead.
