Yes I spotted that comp Thanks Valda,
It does look very good but sometimes I worry films are not as good as the books and it spoils it for me..
This is a great book.

I think there is a big chance of this being a screening (possibly more than one). Prettyxcool found a comp for this which is on the comps board...which reminds me, it lists 'London Westfield London' and 'Westfield London.' I'm assuming one is referring to Stratford Westfield and the other to the Shepherd's Bush one but how are people supposed to know which is which? :confused: Don't want to select it and end up in the wrong Westfield!

Would it not have made sense to have it as 'London - Westfield (Stratford)' and 'London - Westfield (Shepherd's Bush)?!'

Isn't the Shepherd's bush one called Westfields London and the one in Stratford has been changed recently and was planned under the name Westfield. Now it's called Westfield Stratford City

my guess would be that the one closest the centre of London is the 'London - Westfield London' but yes it doesn't make sense, maybe you could email or tweet them about it?
