SweetiiPie85 Posted May 21, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicola Posted May 21, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kfudge Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hi Sarah. I am new here too. Was Cider House Rules made into a movie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethany725 Posted May 22, 2009 Share 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!

Maggie Dana Posted May 22, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfudge Posted May 23, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceinwenn Posted May 23, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetiiPie85 Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share 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.
