Saw the movie first, fell in love with it, then read the book. Cockatiel of Doom Send a noteboard - 15/10/2009 04:38:29 AM
I've only seen the movie, but was thinking of picking up the book, as books tend to be MUCH better than movies. I liked the movie, though. Wondering if anyone's read it. Thoughts?


I enjoyed the book, certainly, but it's much less "Hollywood-ified" than the movie. Which makes sense, but still. It didn't quite give me the same warm and fuzzy feeling inside that the movie did.

Of course, I own both, but I have watched the film countless times and only read the book once. So... this may have something to do with how I view them.
