I have a vivid mental image of an illo from (I'm pretty sure it was) _Wishsong_, with Allanon descending a hillside with ruined skyscrapers in the background. I had the trade paper edition, but M. culled them years ago, so I can't check my memory.
I have yet to see true justice done to any novel of reasonable depth and complexity; Peter Jackson did as good a job as I think is possible with the medium, and I was still very often annoyed by the LOTR movies.
I'll be interested to see the reviews, if it ever comes out. I might even go see it. But I won't reread the novel first. Or even after, probably. :)
