@scalzi I think this book gives the strongest "visuals" to use a 1970's term.

@scalzi If Ryan Reynolds were to play a character in this adaptation is would have to be Who Gives a Shit.

It is appropriate to whoo and hoo.

When you have a treasure, and John has several, its nice to be able to entrust it to careful hands.
