Glad you liked it. This was a true story that in no ways could anyone have ever thought up as a plot for a movie. I'd have never had the perseverance this guy had.

I want to read the book he wrote by blinking. I meant to get Will to buy it for me before he left France, but of course I forgot! Damn CRAFT!

I liked the movie so much, we bought the dvd, sadly the soundtrack is not for sale.
This is a link to an interesting article, it tells the facts, the movie was true, but certain parts were fictious.
it's interviews with Bauby's friends and family:

And you can by Bauby's book on amazon:

I don't think the discrepancies have any direct effect on the central idea of the story. Not a deal breaker by any means.

As far as the book on Amazon, I wanted Will to bring me the French version from France, not an English translation. I can order it from amazon.fr but the shipping is pretty high. Thanks for the tip though for those who might want to read it in English.
