    Has anyone else read this?,its one of my favourite books.
    Always felt imo ,that this book would have made a great film.
    But was disappointed to see Disney bought the rights for their next Pirates of the carribeen.Hopefully i am proved wrong and they do justice to the book.Hope they don't water it down too much for the family audience.
    One good thing is that the film will introduce a lot of new readers to Tim Powers books.

    My favouries

    On stranger tides
    The Drawing of the Dark
    The Anubis Gates

    On September 11, 2009, The Walt Disney Company announced that in the summer of 2011, the fourth installment of the wildly popular Pirates of the Caribbean series would be entitled Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. The announcement has fueled speculation that the movie will follow the plot of the novel, with Jack Sparrow replacing Jack Shandy as the story's protagonist,[4] especially as Powers sold the film rights for the novel to Disney.[5] On January 2010, Disney announced that the film will be released May 20, 2011.
