Galactic Space Hamster Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I saw the trailer for a new movie Children of Men and thought it looked damn interesting. I did a little digging and found it's based upon the novel by P.D James of the same title. I think that I would prefer to read something like this than watch a movie. Books are so much better at conveying lots of ideas and concepts. Has anybody read this book, and what did you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmatix Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I have read this book but it was years, years ago. I can vaguely remember the plot and that the subject matter was interesting. I can't remember much about the writing style or the author's proficiency But I believe I enjoyed it quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I agree.. the film looks interesting, but I think the book might be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mia Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I thought the film looked quite interesting, so I looked the book up on Amazon. If I remember rightly, the reviews weren't too glowing. I've never read any PD James before, but I might take a chance on this one if I can get it cheaply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruuchux Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I saw just the film. Actually one of the best I've seen. Perhaps I should read the book also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
