I think you MUST read it. Sophy Send a noteboard - 02/09/2009 05:32:12 AM
Ah, the never-ending dilemma. Should I watch it first? Or read it first? I really want to read the novel, but I am worried that will make me hate a movie I really want to love (the trailer has made me cry three times already). Conversely, I'm afraid that if I watch the movie first, I will ruin something of the novel's magic.

Votes?


It's a childhoodnostalgiafilm - half the charm of the movie will be that's it's based on that awesome children's book. You probably need to have the book in your mind to appreciate the movie.
