I only ever watch the final. No hopes for us winning at all. We never have anyone good
-
The film is one of THE best classic films ever made, and if any attempts were made to made a remake it I would be highly disappointed, classics cannot be remade. I have never read the book though, think I need to.
-
I liked the film, but I felt they missed out too much from the book. I also felt that the film should have been a 15 instead of a 12. The whole book is based on the fighting to the death and I don't feel it was captured very well at all so I was definitely disappointed by that because it was written so well in the book.
-
I have to say Titanic, Dirty Dancing, Chicago and probably many more that I can't think of right now.
Avatar is a superb film and I don't understand how people can't like it. It was one of the best films of 2011.

The only biography I have read was about a 13 year old girl who was raped by Asian men she thought were her friends. It's not a book for everyone but it tugged at my heart strings.

I don't own a computer. I have a laptop and an iPad so I don't have a desk.

I recently read a book and it was so heart melting. It was about a 13 year old girl who was gang raped by Asian men she thought were her friends. Has anyone else read it? It made me want to cry reading what happened to a young girl
-
Apparently it did but I can't find any information on it Anywhere I've looked because if it's based on the books I would definitely like to watch it.

Thanks! I'll start reading Redbreast soon, and let you know what I think. I haven't read of the books you suggested so I might just have to give them ago.

Any suggestions on what books to read? I like crime ones mostly.

I am just going to add what books I read in 2012. I'm not going to do the genre challenge as I don't want to read books that I wouldn't ordinarily read because I know I won't enjoy them and I don't want to waste my time reading something I don't enjoy. Reading is after all, all about enjoyment. I probably won't read that many, but maybe someone will be interested in what I actually read. Below I will write what books I currently need to read and what I thought of each book as I finish reading them.
Destined - PC Cast (read) 5/5
Divergent - Veronica Roth (read) 41/2/5 - it started off really well but I couldn't give it a full 5/5 because I didn't like it as much as I reas the last few chapters but it was still a very good book.
The End of My World - Emma Jackson (read) 5/5 - heartbreaking true story of a girl who was raped by Asian men she believed to be her friends. So sad. But it was really well written.
The Unremarkable Heart - Karin Slaughter
Alchemist's Secret - Scott Mariani
A Game of Thrones - George R. R. Martin
The Redbreast - Jo Nesbo
The Facebook Killer: Part One - M. L. Stewart (read) 5/5 - this book was amazing, it was only 99p I think on iBooks and I didn't really think it would be that good a book, but as soon as I had finished, I had to start the second book immediately.
The Facebook Killer: Part Two - M. L. Stewart (read) 5/5 - I loved this book, it was very gripping and I loved how it ended. Both books I highly recommend.
Death Notice - Todd Ritter (read) 5/5 - I loved how this book got me to really think about who it was that was committing the murders, at different times in the book I thought it was someone then changed my mind, as there was so many people it could be and I thought this book was excellent.
Vicious Circle - Todd Ritter (read) 4/5 - didn't feel that this book was as good as his other book, but it was still really good. He's a recommended author.

I am currently jobless but am studying Early Childhood studies. But I don't know what I am going to do with the qualification once I've finished in June. I will have a level 5 qualification. Ideally, My dream job would be a forensic pathologist, but I know now that dream will never happen as it takes at least 5 years in education to get there and I've already spend my life studying. I cannot go ahead with anymore. I wish I had known what I really wanted to do before I started studying childcare.

Gone With the Wind is my favourite classic film. They COULD remake it but no one can play Scarlett Ohara and Rhett butler as well as Vivian and Clark. They made that movie and it would be an atrocity to try and match that.

I have never read a Stephen king book. Nor have I ever wanted to. His books are based in the 'horror' genre yet not a single of his films has ever been scary which I suppose is why they are only ever a 12 or a 15 which to me does not qualify as a horror. I prefer books and films that keep me awake at night.

Muhammad Ali - "Me, we."
I think I'll win with this one. I remember reading it in a newspaper tribute to Spike Milligan when he died. He wrote a one-word poem which really stuck with me:
A Poem for Lonely People
Hello.
I don't get how that's a poem.

Pixiwoo and kandeejohnson. Both makeup gurus. Love em!

I have never read the books, and now that I am an adult I have no interest in them at all. I have seen the films, I kmow what happens. Same with the twilight books. I don't want to read the books if I've already seen the films.
-
I just watched the film. Was highly disappointed with how much they actually missed out the book.

You'll find if you look on Wikipedia he said in October last year that he was thinking of making a third.
