Otherwise, I'm too disappointed in the end.Hailey Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198366574573877171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015064410387223894.post-41509964666187904452011-02-26T14:43:40.865-05:002011-02-26T14:43:40.865-05:00Good to know!

I haven't read the book, so hope I can judge the movie on its own merits.<br /><br />I do wish that Hollywood wouldn't deviate so far from the original plot on book-based movies though. There's a reason the novel was so popular, so why tinker with a winning formula and make it a different story? (That said, I thought Jurassic Park was one huge exception, where both the characters and story line were so much more effective in the movie than in the book.)L. A.

It's a shame that their are not enough of them to have the power to say, "Hey, you're changing too much."<br /><br />I haven't read this book or seen the movie. I'd like to though. :)Annie Nicholashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06016425791073062800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015064410387223894.post-63735654813265101232011-02-26T10:30:55.008-05:002011-02-26T10:30:55.008-05:00Well, there's maybe one thing in the movie the...Well, there's maybe one thing in the movie the same as the book, and it's the opening where number three is killed.D L Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03005096541408308851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015064410387223894.post-61535890024705369402011-02-26T09:34:02.857-05:002011-02-26T09:34:02.857-05:00I saw the movie this weekend, and I enjoyed it, bu...I saw the movie this weekend, and I enjoyed it, but I had not read the book. Your blog now has me really wanting to, curious to read the difference. <br /><br />Although, I know going backwards before (movie to book) is not the way to go. I like to read the book first usually.Kiki Howell - Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17505178053235472922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015064410387223894.post-27966340606732302662011-02-26T08:38:29.677-05:002011-02-26T08:38:29.677-05:00Well, I haven't seen the movie but I did read ...Well, I haven't seen the movie but I did read the book. I enjoyed it for the first two thirds and then didn't. I think it descended back into a book that kids would enjoy better than adults at that point. Up until the arrival of the you-know-whos - I thought it was well done. I liked the backstory and I liked the characters. And I would read the next so that says something. Maybe I'd better avoid the movie!Barbara Elsborghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15825994197656747262noreply@blogger.com
