Darn.  Thought this was going to be about Matt Christopher's "The Kid Who Only Hit Homers."

Really liked Pillars, as I did The Dark Tower series.   Haven't seen that many mini-series that I found well done but will give them both a chance.   Nobody has been able to translate Stephen King's works into a mini-series worth crap yet unfortunately.

The Dark Tower will be an awful TV series or movie.

I liked the first half of the series, but King really mailed it in for the last few.

Not really. Though one of the characters does look like a hobbit. A ginger hobbit.
