It doesn't suck, it just completely defeats itself. You may like it though, lots of explosions and Jesus stuff.I'm hesitant to really recommend stuff to you, simply because you thought The Hurt Locker and Inglorious Basterds were shit films.

Though it is a bit much for the average person to be able to do, it is not impossible. However, someone as mentally talented as Eli should have no problem memorizing the entire king James version. A good memory is hardly required for 30 years of practice. A photographic memory is not even close to necessary.Let's put it this way: if Sarah Palin can memorize a couple of pages in a couple of days for a speech, an obvious fictional genius in the form of Eli can certainly memorize over 2000 pages in 30 years.
I'm still not buying it. It was hokie. And even if you are right, there is no frame of reference even mentioned or dealt upon when it comes to Eli's keen memory.

Except the part where he memorized all the sniper locations when he walked into town; memorized the voices and "walking sounds" of any person he ever encountered, and memorized over 2000 pages in the bible...
I'm probably forgetting the other items that he "memorized" or remembered, but that should give you an idea that he's pretty much Mr. Memory. You kind of have to do that stuff when you're blind.
