I just came across this on the Willy Russell web page & thought you might be interested;
"His first novel, The Wrong Boy, was published in 2000, has been translated into fifteen languages and is currently being adapted for a major television series."
There's nothing about it in the 'News' section of his web page, so I guess it won't be gracing our screens for a while yet. Hope it lives up to the book. I can't wait.

God bless Willy Russell.
(What would be even more wonderful would be if Morrissey appeared in it - whether briefly as himself, or simply in the form of an omnipotent voice).

Personally, I think the novel is great; true to the spirit of the 80's and the man Morrissey was in The Smiths.
Then again, I'm biased, as 'The Wrong Boy' was the reason I discovered The Smiths and hence Moz. Also, I saw Willy Russell reading exerpts from the book and he had the audience in stitches (a very funny guy).

Personally, I found it an engrossing read, and much more entertaining than Mark Simpson's virtually illiterate "Saint Morrissey" psycho-biography...
