SweetiiPie85 Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 :tong:Hi everyone, my name is Sarah and I'm a complete book addict!! I just joined up last night and thought I should introduce myself. Still trying to find my way around the site its a tad confusing . I am currently reading The Cider House Rules by John Irving and I think its fantastic. Has anyone read this? It is completely different to what I usually read. I'm a big fan of Crime/Thriller novels. Quote
frankie Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Hello Sarah and welcome to the forum! I'm sure you'll find your way around here quickly and I'm sure you'll enjoy it here too! Quote
Nicola Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Hi Sarah! Welcome to the Forum! I saw that book on a '3 for 2' offer in Waterstones and thought about getting it. I've heard loads about it but never read it. I bought something else in the end but would definitely like to read it sooner or later. You'll have to let us know how you find it Quote
chrysalis_stage Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Hello Sarah (Brilliant name, I'm a fellow Sarah ) Welcome to the forum, hope you are settling well. Happy Reading! I too used to be a big fan of crime/thriller but have changed my reading habits and read lots of random things now, its fun! I have not heard the book you are reading though, I shall check it out!

kfudge Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Hi Sarah. I am new here too. Was Cider House Rules made into a movie? Quote
bethany725 Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Hi and welcome, Sarah! I was going to ask the same question KFudge asked.. I THINK I saw that movie a while back -- like maybe 7 or 8 years ago? I don't remember much about it now, but I had to leave during it because I got really upset.. something abour orphans maybe? Can't remember now. I was pretty young Anyway, welcome! You'll find your way around soon -- it's daunting at first, but before long, it's simple and second nature! Quote
Maggie Dana Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Welcome to the friendliest book site around. And was Michael Caine in the movie version of Cider House Rules, or am I thinking of another film? Quote
kfudge Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Can you refresh my memory.... Cider House Rules.... what is that one about? Was it made into a movie? For some reason it sounds so familiar. Thanks Quote
Ceinwenn Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Cider House Rules was made into a movie, different from the book in a lot of ways, but brilliant movie & equally brilliant book! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0124315/ Quote
SweetiiPie85 Posted May 23, 2009 Author Posted May 23, 2009 Yeah the book was made into a movie with Michael Cain and Tobey Maguire. I watched the film recently and it is nowhere near as good as the book. The book is based on an orphanage and follows the life of an orphan nobody wants to adopt named Homer Wells. Quote
