It's very close to the book and each castmember is spot-on perfect for his or her role. I love it when you watch a movie and the actor is just how you pictured them while reading the book. :)Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12953923516212211276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683496075979568913.post-26406383568573661332008-12-30T17:16:00.000-05:002008-12-30T17:16:00.000-05:00Ooo I like your addition of books that you wished ...Ooo I like your addition of books that you wished you had gotten around to this past year.

I'm going to reread it this year. <BR/><BR/>Interesting you didn't like Wizard of Oz. I read it as a kid and liked it but don't recall a thing. Maybe I'll reread it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the links.

My husband (good friend at the time) got me a copy of the cliff notes with the inscription "Give it up, you're never going to finish this book." I guess he was tired of hearing me complain about it. It was the first gift he had gotten me and I still have it.Alycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919057159829023714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683496075979568913.post-65426241557602044152008-12-30T12:01:00.000-05:002008-12-30T12:01:00.000-05:00Phew!!!http://noeldevries.blogspot.com/2008/12/rea...Phew!!!<BR/><BR/>http://noeldevries.blogspot.com/2008/12/reading-riting-and-resolutions-i-simply.html<BR/><BR/>If you like crime novels, have you tried Dorothy Sayers? Her Lord Peter mysteries are my favorite in the world (and that's saying something, because I adore Miss Marple).

Actually, I've just read the introduction, but am all ready to start chapter 1! A Little Princess was a favorite childhood book. However, The Secret Garden is my favorite from that author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
