After reading the novel, my concern is that they might be too faithful to it when it came to the dialouge. Not that it is bad, on the contrary, some of it is probably the most Coen Bros-ish dialouge I\’ve read in a novel, and that includes No Country For Old Men. But I read one review that mentions how the dialouge is spoken much too fast, which in turn gives it a false sense of being. In other words, do people really talk like that? In Roger Ebert\’s review of Raising Arizona, he mentioned this very thing which led him to give it a negative review. It\’s not that what the characters are saying isn\’t smart and funny, etc., it\’s are they smart enough to be able to same it, and in the fast paced delivery the Coens have them doing it.
