  1. Yes, it is a brilliant book I tried to read another book my Sebastian Faulkes but I didn't like it
  2. My reading year has been really good. As I am trying for a baby I wanted to read a lot more than usual as I am scared I won't be able to read with a little one running around and tiredness. I discovered Daphne Du Maurier this year, which I am VERY happy about. I love her writing so much. Best Books: Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier Boy in the Striped PJs by John Boyne The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson Let The Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist The Time Machine by H.G Wells White Oleander by Janet Fitch. I also read the Twilight saga. I enjoyed the first two books (twilight and new moon) but I really lost it with Eclipse and Breaking Dawn unfortunetly. I was also quite disappointed in The Other Queen by Philippa Gregory
  3. I'm currently reading Jamaica Inn and it is brilliant. I am so impressed with Daphne Du Maurier. She can describe something without wittering on and one for pages and I am still able to get a good idea of the scene she is trying to set. Oh I love her :friends0:I just wish I had discovered her sooner
  4. I also studied this for English Lit and I loved it. Still do. We watched the film in class (Marlon Brando version) and I cried at the end. I was SO embarassed. It really is a fantastic play. I also read Tennessee William's memoirs and they were really good
  5. I REALLY want to read this one. I nearly brought it in a charity shop in Isle of Wight but didn't (it was
  6. Just Read - One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey (was a little disappointed with this one) Currently Reading - Jamaica Inn by Daphne Du Maurier (I looooove Daphne Du Maurier so much ) Next - Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris (cannot wait to read this. It seems right up my street)
  7. Ohyes, I remember now! The Bridget Jones books are not very good. I absolutely LOVE the films though. I love Bridget (they are making a third soon)
  8. I watched it. OMG it was fantastic! It is made by the same people that created Lost - did anybody notice the Oceanic billboard?? I can't wait until Mondays now
  9. same here. Very dissapointed in HBP unfortunetly.
  10. I very rarely watch a film before I have read the book. I think I prefer the movie The Notebook to the book. I saw the film first and absolutely loved it and it spoiled the book for me.
  11. I am certainly going to add this to my reading list but will probably need to be in a very good frame of mind when I read it as animals are my weak spot. I have never been a dog person though *whispers* I am a crazy cat lady really. It sounds like a great book. Thanks for the review
  12. A friend was talking about this the other day. I'm adding it to my reading list thanks for the review
  13. I really enjoyed reading this. I have read The Shining four or five times and you have made me want to read it again. I have to agree with you - Jack Nicholson was perfect as Jack Torrance but I also found his wife quite annoying. Jack Nicholson scares the life out of me now. I cannot forget what he is like in that film. I just see him as a nutcase now
  14. I'm with you on this one. I never get the movie tie-in book cover incase people think I am only reading the book because of the film :s I know I shouldn't worry about what other people think but it is such a cheap ploy to sell books
  15. that is a shame. one bad experience really does ruin it for everyone
  16. thank you I am adding them to my (ever growing) reading list
  17. A more Hollywood ending? Right... whatever that means I thought the pool scene was fantastic. I was particularly interested to see how they handled that bit and I thought it was done very effectively. I hate to think what Hollywood will do with that bit I am boycotting this remake!
  18. I could be wrong but are these True Blood books the ones that have been made into a TV series/movie recently? I did read Twilight but since all the hype I kind of turn off when I hear about vampires. However, a LOT of my online friends have been raving about how good True Blood is.
  19. I saw PS, I Love You the other day. That irish accent was AWFFFUUUUUL! I started the film thinking and that is very bad considering the story
  20. Yes, I saw the subtitled version. I have also heard that an American version is being made. I'm glad I have seen the original.
  21. Thank you very much. I'm sure I'll be shouting it from the rooftops when we get some good news Perhaps, I'll read Harry Potter to my son/daughter as a child... brainwash them from the start
  22. I saw the film at the weekend. I was worried that it would be a bit grim because I found some of the parts in the book a little close to the mark. Anyway, it was a REALLY good film. I loved it Definite thumbs up for book and film
