Whoever wrote that book really fails at French, I'm afraid. :P I've got a similar book called "The Little Book of Foreign Insults" and I've had Russian speakers confirm that it's not that accurate. Still fun though.

I read it. I also read Eldest and Brisingr. I thought they were fairly good. The film was pretty bad and the game was probably the worst thing I've ever played, though.

Aww, I wanted to see the film.. :( Is it really that bad? I read the movie edition, it had photo's of the film and a different cover, which looked pretty nice, but I noticed that some actors look very different from the characters in the book. For example, the book says that Arya had black hair, but the actress had red hair.

You don't need to worry, I'm sure it's a fine film. As long as you don't get REALLY attached to the book you'll enjoy it. I've heard good things about it.

I can however translate almost whatever you want into Polish, if you're interested.

No, no Shakespeare or whatever.

EDIT: Typos.

Let's put it this way... The movie was horrible. But the movie was better than the book.

Maybe the Dutch translation was better than the original. :P It's written by some teenager after all.
