I haven't read this book. But it seemed to need to be added linking from Susan Orlean and Adaptation. If anyone has read this book and would like to expand the article and start something on Laroche, I certainly encourage it.Colby Peterson 06:59, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

That's funny :) The book is the source!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.169.3.229 (talk) 00:56, 28 March 2012 (UTC)


 * 64.169.3.229: Doesn't using the book as the source mean that you are doing original research? To make the article encyclopedic, you need to record facts about the book and author as published in reliable sources by others. Wordreader (talk) 12:11, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Release Date Discrepancy
The Adaptation (film) page claims the film was in development since 1994... but this page claims the book wasn't even released until 1998? Something's off. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.176.9.254 (talk) 12:56, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
 * The book is based on an article released in January 1995. Thus it is possible that an unpublished version of the article was the basis of the film project in 1994. The film rights being negotiated before the book was written is covered in a scene in the film. NisJørgensen (talk) 21:58, 8 April 2017 (UTC)


 * NisJørgensen - Keep in mind that the film is a fiction, based only lightly on the non-fiction book. You cannot trust any of those scenes to be accurate portrayals of any of the real events. Thank you, Wordreader (talk) 03:12, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
 * True. Indeed, I would be surprised if the negotiation of film rights were covered in the book. My main point stands - the text which eventually became the book probably existed as early as 1994, and thus there is no proven discrepancy. NisJørgensen (talk) 16:07, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
