  1. The Goblet of Fire was difficult to read for me, I just found it so hard to get through. But the movie was great. I agree that they did a great job on that one. I however do love all of the Harry Potter movies to no end. I can watch them over and over. Sometimes I forget that I am an adult and think to myself " should I be watching these movies so often?" Then I think I'm sure that there must be millions of adults that watch the Harry Potter movies more then their children. Well I hope.
  2. I agree with you on that. I think always reading the book first (when you know there is a book) is a smart thing to do. I do sometimes read the books after the movie only simply because I had no idea it was a book first.
  3. I have watched all of the movies and have enjoyed them very much. The only Harry Potter book that I felt lacked was Order of the Phoenix, I just felt it dragged out for too long and I got bored. Although the movie was ok, it's my least favorite of the series. I wish there were more series with the Harry Potter, maybe from another point of view like Hermione Granger.
  4. I saw a recent interview with her about the book and she describes is as a dark comedy. I'm not sure about this one yet, I will be waiting for reviews first. She mentioned it has things like depression, death, cutting, abuse and I can't seem to find that funny or how you could adapt that to a comedy. I do have an open mind about the book and will sit on it for a few weeks. I agree, I wish there would be more Harry Potter books. I wish she would just keep writing about them and having movies to go with it.

I look forward to hearing the reviews from you. Thank you. Warm regards, Robin Thank you. I am enjoying it very much.
  6. I do love reading classics. I like reading the old children's stories, for example Peter Pan, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King. Being a children's author myself, I can't help but read children's classics over and over. They bring me inspiration and joyfulness. They bring back so many memories and are full of happiness. I never get tired of reading them.
  7. Yes The Green Mile was an excellent movie and book. I also like the old classic books turned into old movies, an example is 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Would you agree?

    Hello!

    Hi Wes and welcome. All the best with your book. If your thinking of self publishing or looking for some information I would recommend www.bookcovercafe.com (They helped me with everything, very informative website) There is so much great information on the website, I would recommend setting aside 1 hour to look through it all. I am new myself to this forum and so far everyone has been great. I'm sure you will love this forum.

    Hi Gabbie and welcome!
  10. I completely agree. Also The Man Whose Mother Was a Pirate is a great read. Thank you very much. I am glad you like my list. I'm sure I will be continually expanding that list. Who are favorites?
  11. That's an interesting statement. I can see where you are coming from. I'm interested in taking a look at this, do you have an example at all?
  12. Haha, don't be embarrassed I am a fan of the comic books turned movies myself, and have enjoyed both. I also agree with you about what you see/read first which I didn't even think of. I think it does have an impact about how you feel after you have read/watched. I guess when you read the book first you build up the characters in your mind and have your own image of them, when the movie comes out and it's a famous actor, your feelings change a little about the book and that lead you to like the book/movie more or hate it. Also, when you watch the movie first the characters that you see are your first impression and you like the movie based on that. Then when you read the book after the movie the characters you see in your head are the actors from the movie. Would you agree with that?
  13. That is a great response. I read you reply and thought about it for a while, and I agree with you. It does depend on all of those factors. I definitely would not go and see a movie to prove a point, and I agree with you, why bother seeing it at all. There is a happy medium in the case of books and movies. Sometimes I have seen a movie and thought "wow" and find out later it was a book done years and years ago, and have enjoyed it equally.
  14. I agree with you there about The Shawshank Redemption. I loved the movie it was very moving. I just struggled to get through the book for some reason. I just could not feel the emotion and connection in the book, the movie however complete opposite.
